EMU Health Ambulatory Surgical Center

Challenge: EMU Health is a dual-licensed Article 28 Diagnostic & Treatment Center and AAAHC-accredited Ambulatory Surgical Center located in Queens, New York. The modern, multi-specialty facility includes five advanced operating rooms, on-site diagnostics, and specialized pediatric dental suites operating under general anesthesia. Due to its surgical, diagnostic, and outpatient care functions, EMU Health required a hospital-grade, fully FDNY-compliant fire protection and life safety system meeting the most rigorous healthcare and New York State regulatory standards.

Solution Provided: County Fire NYC delivered a comprehensive fire protection solution, including the installation of advanced fire alarm systems, automatic fire sprinklers, and properly rated fire extinguishers throughout operating rooms, treatment areas, diagnostic suites, offices, and common spaces. Our team managed all FDNY filings, inspections, system testing, and compliance documentation, ensuring adherence to NYC Building Code, FDNY, NFPA, and Article 28 healthcare requirements. Work was carefully coordinated to maintain continuous clinical operations and patient safety.

FDNY Approval: County Fire secured FDNY approval on the first submission, reflecting precise documentation, healthcare-specific system design, and inspection-ready execution.

Result: EMU Health now operates with a fully FDNY-approved, code-compliant fire alarm, sprinkler, and extinguisher system, supporting safe surgical care, outpatient services, and pediatric procedures. This project reinforces County Fire NYC’s expertise as a trusted fire alarm contractor in NYC, specializing in ambulatory surgery centers and advanced healthcare fire protection solutions.
