FVAC began providing modified ALS service in 2002.
We are currently looking for REMAC certified Paramedics to join FVAC to enable us to open additional ALS shifts.
Twenty-six of our members were honored for exceptional service on September 11, 2001.
Almost all of our members provided additional service at Ground Zero, Chelsea Pier,
or elsewhere in the aftermath of that terrible event.

Flatlands VAC operates out of our building on the corner of Avenue N and Schenectady Avenue. This building
serves as our headquarters and training center.
We completed an extensive renovation of the outside of our HQ during August 2009!!!
The headquarters is dedicated to Joseph & Terry Santangelo, two people who were
instrumental in the establishment of our Corps.
The Training Center is dedicated to Fred P. Wilken, Sr., the member who is almost solely responsible for its
existence and development.
A two vehicle garage houses our vehicles.
