FDNY EMS Station 27 (new)

USA / New York / Mount Vernon / East 233rd Street, 243
 fire service, ambulance station

The state-of-the-art facility for FDNY's EMS 27 is a significant new civic building-and the home base for the six ambulance crews serving Woodlawn, Riverdale and Kingsbridge has been designed under the Design Excellence Program of New York City's Department of Design and Construction.

The trapezoidal volume of EMS 27 perches at the summit of 233rd street, an industrial corridor in the northern Bronx that threads between the park-like Woodlawn Cemetery and the modest low-rise residential neighborhood behind. Rising above the adjacent vacant lots and industrial buildings, it surveys the environs

FDNY Ladder 39 which occupied the former fire house on this site was moved in with Engine 63 over in Wakefireld a short way to the east in 2006.

243 East 233rd St.
