The Paterson Fire Department EMS division is among the busiest in New Jersey, responding to nearly 45,000 combined fire and medical calls annually within an 8-square-mile radius. Because Paterson only runs dedicated fire engines if no ambulances are available, the city's firefighters handle the vast majority of these medical responses.

Key Workload Statistics & traffic congestion, narrow streets, and illegally parked cars create significant operational and physical stress for first responders.

Dual Roles: While actively handling tens of thousands of medical distress calls, the department also combats an active fire schedule that often results in dozens of working structure fires every few weeks.
