Council Member Mercedes Narcisse raises concerns about ambulance sirens, particularly during late-night hours:
- She mentions receiving numerous complaints from constituents about sirens at 3 or 4 in the morning
- Narcisse questions the necessity of loud sirens when traffic is lighter during these hours
Chief Michael Fields begins to address the issue, noting that FDNY is not the only ambulance service operating in the city, which leads into a more detailed explanation in the next chapter.

For MDNY, I have complained a lot for the sirens.
1:34:07
I heard my colleague talking about it.
1:34:08
People are calling me all the time for the assignments.
1:34:12
So some my question is about, like, some of the complain that I received, like, for 3 o'clock in the morning, 4 o'clock in the morning, and the traffic is not the same.
1:34:22
So why we have those large sirens going on?
Michael Fields
1:34:26
So so the first thing, and and I'll let Evan talk to it.
Mercedes Narcisse
1:34:28
Yeah.
