Description
Mayor Martin Walsh joins Massport to celebrate the opening of a new Emergency Medical Services (EMS) station in Logan International Airport to serve the East Boston community. This expansion addresses increased need for emergency services due to recent development and growth in the neighborhood.
A
Good
morning
everybody,
my
name,
hey
thanks.
My
name
is
Elena
Coppola
and
I.
Am
a
sports
director
of
community
relations
and
government
affairs
and
I'd
like
to
welcome
you
all
here
today
on
this
beautiful
day
in
celebration
of
national
ems
week
and
what
better
place
to
be
during
national
ems
week
than
right
here
in
East
Boston
in
front
of
this
brand-new
beautiful
ambulance,
Bay.
A
And
it's
truly
because
of
the
great
strong
leadership
of
mayor
Marty
Walsh,
our
East
Boston
elected
officials,
Senator
Joe
bond
Corey,
representative
Adrienne
Madero,
consul
Lydia
Edwards,
along
with
Boston
EMS
and
our
Acting
CEO
John
panca
vicious
that
East
Boston
is
fortunate
enough
to
have
this
tremendous
community
asset
in
our
community.
So
round
of
applause
for
our
back.
B
So
thanks
Elena
good
morning,
everyone
it's
great
to
be
here,
certainly
as
part
of
the
EMS
Week.
We
want
to
celebrate
a
very
fabulous
day,
a
great
investment
to
the
community
and
the
leadership
of
the
people
in
this
room,
because
without
that
leadership,
today's
events
would
not
have
happened.
So
today
is
about
commitment,
collaboration
community,
the
commitment
from
the
mayor
Walsh
to
provide
the
best
service
here
for
East
Boston
in
the
city
of
Boston.
B
B
Let's
not
forget
that
their
work
saves
lives
each
and
every
day,
and
today
is
about
community
these
Boston
community.
That
deserves
and
will
benefit
and
from
the
investments
being
made
today
in
the
ambulance
service,
that's
being
provided
to
this
community,
but
before
I
go
any
further
as
many
people
in
the
room
I
want
to
recognize.
Clearly
at
Freni
the
director
of
aviation,
we
sit
in
his
facility.
This
is
his
area.
We
recognize
him
for
his
ambassador.
B
Sam
Simon
our
director
of
capital
programs.
Without
him
and
his
team,
the
record-setting
investment
here
took
place
in
a
few
months.
Maybe
it
would
have
been
longer
than
that,
but
it
went
up
very
quickly
and
we
appreciate
the
great
service
that
he
and
his
team
had
did
to
make
this
happen
and
as
quickly
as
it
happened.
B
The
Boston
Fire
Chief,
Gabriella,
Coweta
and
Ricardo
patron
from
Casa
Lydia
Edwards
office.
Many
Lopes
he's
in
the
audience
I
seen
him.
Thank
you
for
being
here,
he's
been
great
where
we
met
remotely
from
the
mayor's
office
here
representing
East,
Boston
and
I
also
want
to
I,
also
want
to
thank
the
Massport
ANF
team
for
the
work
and
working
collaboratively
and
the
IT
team.
B
B
Member
John
Nucci
John
was
a
huge
part
of
this
collaboration
and
is
a
big
believer
in
what's
happening
here
at
Logan
Airport,
but
also
being
a
person
who
wants
to
contribute
to
the
community
and
making
sure
that
Massport
does
its
investment
in
making
a
better
quality
life
here
in
East
Boston
to
materialise.
So
for
everybody,
I
just
welcomed
and
thanked
was
one
more
round
of
applause.
B
So,
let's
top
this
off
with,
why
we're
all
here
and
that's
for
the
mayor?
All
of
this
got
started
when
mayor
Walsh
made
the
commitment
to
put
the
ambulance
service
here
in
East
Boston,
and
he
needed
a
little
help
in
partnership
with
massport.
We
built
the
facility
in
that
collaboration
obviously
has
helped
benefit,
not
only
what
we're
here
at
the
Logan
Airport,
but
also,
more
importantly,
the
East
Boston
community,
and
it's
the
mayor's
leadership
that
we
should
be
recognizing
today.
So
please
welcome
Mayor
Walsh.
C
Thank
you
very
much
John,
and
quite
honestly,
this
wouldn't
happen
without
you
and
it
wouldn't
happen
without
he's
not
here
today,
but
Ron
Glenn
when
we
approached
you
with
this
a
couple
years
ago.
So
thank
you
for
doing
for
shepherding
this
trove
and
I
truly
appreciate
it
to
all
the
folks
that
he
chief
Huli
from
Boston
EMS
and
all
EMTs
the
MSC
here
today,
Joe
de
grace
from
the
from
the
fire.
Thank
you
very
much
to
the
community
activists
and
residents.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
C
C
Gonna
give
that
poor
guy
a
ticket
right
now
I
wanted
a
happy
happy
birthday
to
the
trooper
reason.
Why
we're
here
honestly
rep
mater,
oh
I,
was
talking
one
day
and
he
said
to
me
that
to
talk
about
the
concerns
in
East
Boston
and
in
the
seniors
and
people
whose
boss
was
saying,
we
only
have
one
in
months
over
here
and
you
know
we
have
a
tunnel,
the
tunnel,
something
happens,
a
tunnel
toll
bridge
we
can't
get
in
and
out
of
his
Boston.
We
only
have
one
inlets.
C
That's
he
a
full
time
and
he
said
to
me:
can
we
do
something
about
it
and
I
talked
to
John,
Glenn
and
John
at
the
time
in
my
office
and
I
said?
Is
there
any
chance
and
what
would
trump
we're
doing
some
stuff
in
the
community
we're
building
the
police
station
things
like
that?
Can
we
do
something
at
mass
port?
Is
there
any
opportunity,
at
least
for
now
this
weekend?
So
we
can
get
more
service
over
here
and
they
said
absolutely
make
something:
work
and
I
call.
C
Chief,
Uli
and
I
said
how
about
another
ambulance
bay
over
and
he
sees
a
sad
smile.
He
goes
absolutely
and
that's
how
this
started
and
it
really
started
from
the
community
going
to
your
state
representative,
your
state
representative,
coming
to
me
and
to
us
and
go
on
a
mass
port
in
the
state,
and
that's
that's
what
happened
here
today.
So
I
want
to
I
want
to
give
the
the
rep
the
credit
he
deserves,
because
he's
a
guy
who
is
living.
C
Also
without
mess
port,
this
wouldn't
have
happened.
Massport
has
been
a
great
partner.
I
know
that
this
over
the
years
has
been.
A
lot
of
you
know,
concerns
about
Airport
and
traffic,
and
things
like
that.
But
there's
also
a
benefit
that
this
this,
this
mass
port
doesn't
forget,
the
neighborhood
doesn't
forget
the
community,
and
this
is
another
important
resource.
This
is
in
the
park
and
they're
building
a
lot
of
parks.
This
is
an
open
space
in
the
building
want
open
space.
This
is
actually
something
that
I
think
in
a
lot
of
ways
more
tangible.
C
When
somebody
needs
help,
you
pick
up
the
phone,
you
call
9-1-1,
you
want
somebody
at
your
front
door
in
a
minute,
a
min
and
a
half,
and
you
want
to
make
sure
it's
there
and
because
of
their
partnership,
we
were
able
to
do
it.
The
residents
of
East
Sea,
who
were
not
shy,
who
are
not
shy
at
all.
Thank
you
as
well.
For
sticking
with
us
this
project
is,
is
something
that
we're
excited
about,
and
it's
also
great
to
see.
Service
expands,
so
I
want
to
thank
you.
C
This
is
going
to
increase
capacity,
especially
when
emergencies
are
going
on
the
same
time
as
something
in
half
on
the
airport.
So
there's
an
incident
the
airport
now
and
an
instant
in
the
community.
We
can
do
both.
Now
we
don't
have
to
kind
of
wait
for
somebody
to
respond
to
one
of
the
other.
We're
able
to
do
both
and
that's
really
important.
It's
an
important
because
response
times
makes
a
big
difference
when
residents
need
need
immediate,
immediate
medical
care
and
medical
needs.
So
we
work
to
make
sure
we
continue
to
improve
that
just
so.
C
C
They
respond
to
a
hundred,
and
twenty-five
thousand
calls
a
year
think
about
that
from
a
125,000
calls
a
year.
They
get
response
to
approximately
seventy
seven
hundred
of
those
here
in
East,
Boston
I'm
men
and
women
are
ready
to
respond
all
hours
of
the
day
with
the
good
professionalism
and
compassion
and
care,
and
it
certainly
is
reassuring
when
they
show
up
to
be
there.
I'm
Greek
deeply
deeply
grateful
for
our
EMTs.
We
also
have
my
twin
the
other
president
of
the
EMTs
here
with
us
today
with
that
Michael
as
well.
C
With
celebrating
national
ems
week
this
week
in
boston
all
week
long
so
when
you
see
them
make
sure
you
say
hello
and
thank
them
for
that,
we
also
made
investments
in
our
service.
We've
brought
new
influences
and
added
more
more
paramedics
and
making
sure
that
we're
keeping
up
with
the
growth
of
our
city,
so
we're
gonna
continue
to
make
investments
in
our
EMTs
as
we
continue
to
go
in
our
city.
I
also
want
to
celebrate
Boston
EMS
as
a
national
leader
and
there's
no
question
about
it.
C
We
had
a
there
was
a
bike
ride
the
other
day
now
that
the
Stoddard
City
Hall
plaza
it's
a
bike,
ride
down
to
Washington,
to
create
a
more
national
memorial
for
EMTs
and
all
of
the
a
lot
of
riders
from
across
the
country
came
here,
and
they
couldn't
get
over
the
collaboration
between
the
city
and
in
the
service.
How
that
we
all
work
together?
C
And
it's
not
it's
not
it's
not
a
divisive
relationship
and
that's
the
way
it
should
be
because
it's
not
meant
to
be
a
divisive
issue
when
you
pick
up
the
phone
and
you
call
9-1-1
when
so
many
shows
up
at
your
front
door,
you
want
to
make
sure
that
professional
they're
there
and
I
want
to
thank
them
again
for
their
work.
They're
fighting
in
in
so
many
different
ways:
they're
fighting
the
opened
up,
opiate
epidemic
that
we
have
or
not
passed
to
recovery.
C
So
when
you
hear
somebody
has
an
overdose,
did
the
first
was
at
the
scene,
oftentimes
and
they're
the
ones
that
follow
up
afterwards
to
make
sure
our
people
get
support.
They
support
our
shelter
system
to
make
sure
that
in
those
cold
nights,
when
you
have
homeless
folks
out
there
they're
out
there
making
sure
that
our
homeless
are
protected
and
trying
to
get
them
in
to
go
into
shelter
oftentimes.
C
C
All
of
us
can
come
together
and
work
to
get
to
a
solution,
a
good
solution,
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
I
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
mati
Martinez
chief
of
Health
and
Human
Services
for
the
city
of
Boston.
Mati
is
responsible
for
Public
Works
and
a
whole
Public
Health
and
a
whole
bunch
of
different
areas,
including
the
addiction
area.
So
on
thank
Marty
and
his
team
for
incredible
work.
C
I
wanted
a
mani
at
the
health
center
who,
and
you
know,
the
numbers
for
the
health
East
Boston
health
center,
it's
really
at
East
Boston
hospital
and
the
services
that
they
service.
The
people
in
this
community
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that
and
all
the
staff
here
at
mass
support.
Thank
you
for
what
you
do
every
single
day
and
I
enjoy.
Don't
feel,
let's
not
forget,
let's
not
forget
when
you
see
our
paramedics
on
the
street
and
INTs
thank
them
and
the
ones
that
are
here
today.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
B
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
our
next
speaker
is
truly
a
son
of
East,
Boston
and
I
know
this
for
sure.
His
energy
and
passion
for
local
issues
that
affect
the
East
Boston
residents
is
contagious
and
representative
Agee
Madero
is
a
determined
advocate
for
his
constituents.
The
representative
is
also
a
key
leader
on
many
issues.
In
fact,
speaker
DeLeo,
just
recently
named
him
vice
chairman
of
the
Joint
Committee
on
transportation
and
I.
Think,
more
importantly,
for
him
this
past
weekend,
the
representative
graduated
with
the
special
degree
I
know
he
was
working
very
hard
hard
on
them.
D
Good
afternoon
everybody,
this
is
a
really
amazing
day.
First
of
all,
finally,
we
got
some
good
weather
for
the
celebration,
but,
more
importantly,
it
could
not
be
more
fitting
that
we're
hosting
today's
event,
the
national
ems
week
and
I
want
to
again
it
bears
repeating.
I
know
the
mayor
Senate,
but
our
extreme
gratitude,
and
thanks
to
major
Atkinson
chief
Uli
and
chief
de
grace
and
all
of
your
colleagues
for
everything
you
do
for
us
each
and
every
day.
Thank
you.
D
You
know
this
ambulance.
Bay
is
a
really
incredible
story
for
this
community,
because
it
highlights
the
strength
of
government
partnerships
between
city
between
state,
even
between
a
quasi
governmental
agency.
Like
Massport,
you
know
the
story
of
easties
need
for
additional
ambulance.
Services
goes
back
many
many
years.
Some
of
the
residents
here
know
what
I'm
talking
about,
because
residents
had
clambered
for
additional
ambulance
services
for
decades,
but
a
couple
of
years
ago,
or
maybe
a
year
ago,
there
was
an
incident
that
happened
in
our
community,
the
resident
of
East
Boston
who
lives
in
Jefferies
Point.
D
His
daughter
suffers
from
epilepsy.
She
took
a
seizure
now,
our
at
the
time,
one
and
only
ambulance
for
East
Boston
was
deployed
and
another
call,
and
it
took
an
additional
ambulance
coming
through
the
tunnel,
navigating
the
crazy
congestion
that
we
have
here
in
East
Boston
nearly
30
minutes
to
arrive
to
that
child.
Who
was
having
a
seizure
at
East
Boston,
and
at
that
moment,
when
I
heard
that
story
that
day,
I
called
mayor,
Walsh
and
I
said
mayor.
We
need
to
do
something
about
this.
East
Boston
is
exploding.
We
have
more
residents
more
development.
D
A
lot
of
issues
with
congestion-
this
is
not
just
I
mean
this-
is
a
huge
public
safety
issue
right
and
it
was
frankly
unacceptable
and
I
was
extremely
fortunate
that
it
was
mayor
Walsh.
That
was
on
the
receiving
end
of
that
call,
because
first,
he
was
shocked
at
what
I
was
telling
him
and
second,
he
immediately
sprung
to
action
brought
chief
who
lien
we
had
a
meeting
at
the
health
center
with
Manny
Lopes.
D
D
Tom
Glynn
was
the
CEO
of
mass
port
and
a
lot
of
credit
goes
to
Tom,
because
at
that
table
we
identified
the
need,
but
we
had
to
figure
out
how
to
achieve
the
second
ambulance,
Bay
with
very
little
room
in
East
Boston,
to
build
and
frankly
with
the
tight
city
budget
that
this
is
obviously
unplanned.
So
at
the
time
and
the
mayor
was
very
humble,
but
he
actually
used
overtime
budget
that
he
had
to
immediately
fill
that
gap,
despite
not
having
a
second
ambulance
bay.
D
He
gave
us
a
second
ambulance
immediately
and
in
the
interim
we
use
those
months
to
build
a
beautiful
facility
here
and
now.
East
Boston
has
a
second
dedicated
ambulance,
which
it
may
sound
like
something
small,
but
this
is
transformative
from
a
public
safety
and
public
health
standpoint
for
our
community
and
to
all
our
partners
mayor,
Walsh
John.
You
came
on
board
and
ensured
that
this
got
over
the
goal
line
to
our
public
safety
officials.
Thank
you
so
very
much
for
this
investment
in
our
community,
because
this
will
save
lives.
Thank
you.
B
You
know
it's
those
stories
in
those
situations,
unfortunately,
once
in
a
while,
it
takes
a
little
bit
of
a
catalyst
to
make
those
things
happen,
and
it
takes
great
people
getting
together
to
solve
problems
and
clearly
going
back
to
collaboration
and
commitment.
We
heard
that
story
here
and
I
want
to
thank
the
representative
for
his
great
work
in
the
community
and
everything
that
he
does
so.
E
B
Next,
stop
to
speak
here
is
Chief
Jim
hooli
I
just
got
the
pleasure
to
to
meet
a
few
minutes
ago.
He
has
over
35
years
of
experience
in
this
field,
and
that
is
a
tremendous
asset
for
the
community
and
for
the
city,
and
he
knows
firsthand
how
hard
and
how
dedicated
his
people
are
to
make
to
save
lives,
to
be
the
first
responders
in
saves
lives.
B
F
Thank
you,
everybody.
Thank
you.
John
hop
turn
make
it
quick,
because
a
lot
of
things
have
already
been
said.
So
I
don't
want
to
repeat
too
many,
but
you
know
I
was
asked.
You
know
when
I
saw
the
notes
too,
to
speak
about
some
of
the
needs
of
East
East
Bossa
as
it
relates
to
emergency
medical
services,
and
you
know
the
community
of
East
Boston's
may
have
said
we'd,
like
seventy
seven
hundred
calls
last
year
and
about
thirty.
F
Seven
percent
of
those
calls
do
occur
on
mass,
but
mass
put
facilities,
or
maybe
some
of
those
car
rental
places
around
here.
So
mass
port
is
very
much
a
member
of
your
community,
even
though,
like
movie
used
to
go
to
our
community
meetings.
Sometimes
the
residents
over
here
felt
like
well,
hey
we're
not
a
subsidiary
of
Massport
or
Logan,
and
we
this
is
their
chance
to
prove
that
it's
the
other
way
around
they're
responsible
member
of
your
community
and
that's
something
we
all
have
to
remember.
F
I
yeah
geographically,
some
of
the
biggest
set
issues
that
always
face
us
with
these
Boston
one
can't
be
a
traveling
through
tunnels
or
a
bridge
to
get
here
or
across
the
harbor
right,
and
you
know,
and
for
years
that
that
worked
for
us,
we
relied
on
a
backup
system
of
rotating
trucks.
Ola
who's,
a
well
rehearsed
thing
up
and
dispatch
would
soon,
as
they
said,
I
got
a
call.
You
started
rotating
units
around
in
coverage
and,
as
call
volume,
grew
citywide.
Not
just
here.
The
demand
in
the
system
grew.
F
It
became
clear
that
that
that
wasn't
gonna
work
that
was
breaking
down
that
left
too
many
applications
where
we
would
have
got
a
gap
in
service.
We
relied
then
on
special
occasions.
If
there
was
a
stormy
weather,
you're
tall
ships
or
other
events,
we
always
made
sure
we
put
extra
trucks
over
here.
We
would
always
call
all
the
time
to
put
a
truck
over
just
in
case,
but
again
that
wasn't
every
single
day.
F
So
when,
when
we
looked
at
some
of
these
issues,
we
we
met
with
some
members
of
the
community
Minnie
Lopes
who's,
not
just
he
had
the
head
of
the
health
center.
Here,
he
chairs
the
board
of
public
out
beep
Boston
Public,
Health
Commission.
He
cheers
their
board
and
he
was
a
board
member
at
the
time.
Well,
he
offered
to
convene
a
meeting
with
some
key
players,
some
key
residents
with
the
representative
and
we
sat
and
we
did
go
over
on
numbers.
We
went
over
some
of
the
staffing
plans.
F
They
had
to
bring
the
truck
back
and
the
crew
were
to
get
in
and
that's
because
we
did
not
have
another
garage
or
another
place
to
put
a
truck
in
bad
weather
and
by
state
regulations.
The
garages
handles
that
we
garage
when
they're
up
when
they're
not
in
use
and
we
so
you
can
shut
them
off
and
you
know,
but
anyway,
so
we
were
faced
with
that.
We
had
a
shuttle,
the
trucks
for
a
while.
F
So
that
was
one
of
the
issues
that
was
facing
us
and
as
we
all
these
different
conversations
on
the
background
by
a
cellphone
rang
one
morning,
it
was
the
mayor
and
he
says:
ok,
he
getting
a
new
garage
yeah.
You
gonna
get
a
couple
phone
calls
today,
you're
gonna
be
hearing
from
you
could
talk
about
Joe
to
grace
talk
about,
he
says:
do
you
hear
from
a
few
people
make
sure
you
get
what
you
need
out
of
it?
Are
they
gonna
be
replacing
the
trail
by
the
way?
I
expect
this
to
be
fast-tracked.
F
You
have
any
problems,
call
me
back
and
that's
that's
what
he
said
and
then
not
I.
Think
10
minutes
after
that.
I
got
a
phone
call
from
chief
to
Grace
and
Joe
was
like
hey,
I
was
just
talking
to
our
CEO
and
hey
I.
Guess
we're
gonna
be
working
together
on
something
he
said.
What
do
you
need?
This
is
that
he
says
I'm
familiar
with
the
trailer
you
have
over
there.
He
says.
Let
me
tell
you:
I
just
bought
a
new
one
which
is
bigger.
We
put
it
out
at
Hanscom.
F
F
B
option
C
or
option
D
to
bring
out
the
units
over
here
which,
which
is
good,
so
we're
not
borrowing
from
those
communities
as
well.
So
what
the
residents
in
East
Boston
have
done
for
their
up
for
yourselves
has
really
benefitted
folks
in
Charlestown,
and
the
recent
community
meeting
I
mentioned
that
to
folks
in
Charlestown.
That
done.
F
Thank
you
then
exciting.
They
come
over
here
as
well,
and
I
mean
that
sincerely
so
in
the
end,
I
just
want
to
thank
again
the
residents
of
East
Boston,
one
for
your
feedback
for
your
honesty,
for
your
support
for
your
patience
for
working
with
us
and
and
I
hope.
I
didn't
forget
anybody
else,
but
but
but
but
again,
neckli
what
the
mayor
said
about
ems
week,
particularly
for
the
members
of
Boston
EMS,
whether
you
work
in
East
E
or
not.
F
Thank
you
very
much
for
everything
you
do
every
day,
folks
from
East
E
the
people
who
work
out
in
this
district
they're
your
biggest
advocates
same
as
the
rep
same
as
the
mayor.
We
they're
the
first
ones
to
tell
us
when
it
when
there's
an
issue
in
a
neighborhood
they're
great
for
that
they're
on
your
side
as
well
and
a
further
commitment.
So
we
were
working
with
many
Lopes
to
see
if
we
can
work
with
the
state
to
get
some
things
where
maybe
awesome.
F
Unless
acute
patients
could
be
transported
there
just
to
keep
the
endings
in
East
Boston,
because
that's
another
problem,
we
owe
anybody.
We
transport
you
have
to
take
them
out
of
East.
You
gotta
go
to.
You
have
to
go
to
the
Boston
side,
so
it
takes
a
while
to
get
resources
back
because
there's
no
ambulances
or
no
hospitals
over
here
so
anyway,
and
we've
also
a
lot
of
our
EMTs
who
work
over
here
are
also
bilingual.
F
B
Great
job
chief
I
think
you
heard
about
commitment
a
lot
about
the
community
and
how
things
work
in
collaboration
right.
So
that's
that
was
part
of
today's
message.
So
our
final
speaker
today
is
chief
joe
de
grâce
chief
de
grâce
came
in
here
in
1992,
has
almost
30
years
of
experience
came
up
through
the
ranks
of
the
organization,
huge
huge
asset
for
the
Massport
fire
department.
What
we
do
here
in
saving
lives
is
a
tribute
to
the
great
work
that
he
does
each
and
every
day
and
the
members
of
his
team
here
in
the
room.
E
Good
morning
it's
a
great
day
for
the
East
Boston
community
and
our
community
here
at
mass
port.
It
was
a
little
over
a
year
ago,
approximately
6
o'clock
in
the
morning
I
get
a
phone
call
from
my
boss
at
Freni.
We
just
talked
to
the
CEO,
who
just
talked
to
the
mayor,
who
spray
expressed
the
need
for
an
additional
ambulance
over
here
and
he's
Boston
at
the
airport.
So
he
asked
me
to
go
over
and
meet
one
of
Sam's
Lyman's
engineers
to
see.
If
there
was
room
to
see.
E
If
we
can
get
it
a
look
at
the
facility,
they
obliged
they
were
great
in
a
a
little
bit
of
a
year
later.
Here
we
are
open
up
this
great
facility,
a
second
emmalin's
for
this
community.
Here
at
mass
port,
we
have
about
4,500
runs
a
year
and
a
large
number
of
those
runs
at
EMS
runs.
So
our
commitment
to
this
community
into
this
airport
now
with
the
second
ambulance
that
I'm
Sam's
group
and
Massport,
the
CEO
and
Tom
Glen
before
him
has
has
given
to
this
community
to
this
Airport,
is,
is
invaluable.
E
We've
had
a
great
partnership
with
Boston
EMS
for
a
number
of
years
during
my
tenure
during
the
ten
years
before
me,
it's
unprecedented
having
these
special
partnerships
between
boss
and
EMS
and
Boston
Fire
is
vital
to
our
mission
to
keep
the
traveling
public
safe
and
secure
here
at
Logan
Airport.
We
like
to
thank
chief
holiness
in
his
in
his
team
for
all
their
assistance
and
the
collaboration
with
the
training
that
they
helped
us
with
with
the
exercise
preparation
when
we
do
our
disaster,
drills
and
so
on,
and
so
forth,
or
not
daily
training.
E
For
all
the
events
we
have
in
East
Boston
the
events
we
have
in
South
Boston.
It
seems
like
there's
something
going
on
around
this
area
pretty
much
every
month,
you
can
always
count
on
Boston
EMS
to
provide
top-notch
service
to
the
traveling
public
when
they
come
over
here
to
the
airport
day
in
and
day
out,
call
after
call
incident
after
incident
we
hand
off
to
the
best
EMS
professionals
in
the
entire
country.
E
E
B
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
celebrating
collaboration,
commitment
and
community.
Today's
event,
I
think
exemplifies
good
government
working
due
to
do
great
things.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
invite
people
up
to
in
front
of
the
facilities
so
that
we
can
do
a
couple
pictures
and
cut
the
ribbon.
Thank
you.
