How many stations have medic designation?

• A. All 14 stations (Correct)
• B. All 16 stations
• C. All 15 stations
• D. Only 14 stations

Answer: (A)

Medic designation shows a station’s ability to deploy paramedic-level, advanced life support on its units. If every station in the system carries this designation, it means ALS capability is available across the entire fleet wherever a call comes from, ensuring rapid access to advanced medical care no matter which station responds. In this setup, all stations are equipped and authorized to provide medic-level response, so the number of stations with medic designation equals the total number of stations in the system. For Norfolk Fire Rescue, that total is 14, so all 14 stations have medic designation. This uniform coverage avoids gaps in ALS availability and supports consistent medical-response capability across the city.
