Philadelphia Fire EMS Medic 22 remains the busiest single medic unit in the united states, and has been for many years. Past annual statistics include 2002 - 8513 runs, 2001 - 9094 runs, and 2000 - 8783 runs, averaging 24 calls in 24 hours. More recent stats were unavailable at the time of this post. But, the Philadelphia Fire website says this is true, and we all know that no information on the internet is incorrect.

Urban System here... as a company, we cover roughly 40% of the county. We run over 100,000 calls a year. The other company handles the other 60%... I'd say somewhere around 300,000 calls a year city-wide, but that of course is just a guess.

We run approx 40 units daily each 12 hour shifts, plus special events.
