Essex-Windsor Emergency Medical Services officially opened the new station in Kingsville on Monday.
“Kingsville is growing, and so is Essex-Windsor EMS,” Chief Justin Lammers said. “The new station is designed to accommodate our paramedics and ambulances as we continue to expand, enhance our services and adopt new technologies. We are proud to serve Kingsville residents from this new location.”
The 6,414-square-foot station at 75 Road 2 East, is more modern and four times larger than the space Essex-Windsor EMS previously leased in a building occupied by Kingsville Fire and Rescue.
The new location includes three drive-through garage bays capable of holding up to six vehicles; dedicated supply and equipment storage areas; a crew lounge accommodating ten people; ample parking, including spots for employees’ electric vehicles; and an emergency vehicle fuel depot.
Construction of the station started in September 2022 and was completed a year later by Gulf Developments Inc. for $4.35 million.
The County of Essex, which is responsible for Essex-Windsor EMS, has also set aside funds in its 2023 Budget for land to build a new, standalone station in the Town of LaSalle, where the service currently shares space with the fire service.
