FDNY ambulances are taking longer to reach life-threatening medical emergencies for the fourth consecutive year, according to the city's latest Mayor's Management Report, with union leaders blaming chronic understaffing and a lack of investment by City Hall. The data show ambulances took an average of 11 minutes and 21 seconds to respond to life-threatening emergencies in fiscal year 2025 - up 29 seconds from 2024 and nearly two minutes longer than in 2021, when the average was 9 minutes and 34 seconds.
