Union Center Fire Company started in 1947 with one station located at 1805 Union Center Hwy. Over the years this station has been expanded to meet the needs of the community. As the population grew and shifted to the North Side area, a second station was needed to serve this area as well. A two-bay station was built at 1209 Taft Ave. and has since been upgraded to a four-bay station.
Union Center Fire Company started a First Aid Team in the mid-1960's. In 1992 an EMS team was formed. The team is made up of personnel with CPR training, New York State Certified First Responders, Emergency Medical Technicians, and Paramedics.
The EMS team is trained to use an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) for cardiac arrest patients, Oxygen, and airway management equipment - all of which is contained in our EMS response vehicle.
The equipment and personnel are dispatched to respond in advance of an ambulance to get medical aid to a patient as quickly as possible.
All emergency calls are received at Broome County's state-of-the-art 911 Communications Center. All alarms are radio-dispatched to our personnel through this Center. Upon receiving an alarm, members respond to the station and respond the proper emergency equipment to the scene.
