STATION 94 Station 94 is solely an EMS response station. Serving the Mission Bend area, Station 94 houses the busiest Medic unit in our area. As our department grew and fleet increased, this station was constructed to take EMS crews out of Station 91 and give them their own facility. This allowed the department to house more suppression apparatus in our central fire station. Encompassing over 80% of our emergency calls, our EMS program is at the forefront of pre-hospital care. Station 94 houses Medic 91, Medic 94, and EMS Supervisor 90.
