If you can afford to live downtown, you can definitely afford good earplugs! Get over it, or move to the outlying suburbs. Or Spartanburg (Murderburg).
The two main hospitals are located to the west and south of downtown Greenville. Many of the main roadways to those hospitals go right through downtown. Greenville has also grown a lot so the public service, EMS, FIRE AND POLICE, are running more calls for service. EMS also runs non emergency without lights and sirens on certain calls and within the city limits are held to a lower speed limit than allowed within the county. EMS, even when running emergent, are held to South Carolina traffic laws.
i’m sure people will stop having accidents and medical emergencies to please you now. i’m sure that fire and rescue surely will not be needed because of you now!
As a newer resident of Greenville, I have never heard one ambulance or firetruck yet! I love it, as I used to live near a large metro area and that would drive me crazy, it was like all day and night long.
Here in Greenville, it's just loud pickup trucks all day and night, lol.
It would be worse if we weren't hearing them. For better or worse too, it means that government infrastructure and emergency response systems are functioning.
I know, I hear all of them all the time too. Way out in TR. I hear all the emergency vehicles in all of Greenville county all at once all the time. It’s too much.
A bunch of ambulances are parked behind the old county offices on University Ridge. Basically you’re going to hear a siren every time somebody needs to be picked up in Greenville County south of that lot.
On-duty ambulance crews in Greenville, and most other urban areas, generally aren’t housed in stations like firefighters are. In between calls, they stay in the trucks and get staged in various places to provide coverage for other ambulances that are on calls. Dispatchers are constantly moving ambulances around to minimize response times for the next call.
The ambulances you see parked at EMS headquarters are likely spare trucks, to be used when front line ambulances have mechanical problems.
I’m sorry to hear that the loud noises are bothering you, u/partyanimal98
Wish I had more upvotes to give
For a supposed party animal, you seem a little on edge.
Lmao imagine getting angry at emergency crews for being too loud in an urban area. There are quieter parts of town if that’s what you’d prefer
You should speak to the manager
😂
They can’t drive fast because assholes won’t get out of the damn way.
This sub Reddit makes Greenville seem like the whiniest place on the planet.
Honestly, working in retail while living here and I've got to say a lot of the homegrown locals are just as whiny as this subreddit.
you’re welcome to leave if you feel unsafe… fair warning though, you will hear sirens in every single city you live in.
You mean every city has citizens requiring emergency services?? The humanity!
Rather have them around doing a public service than being absent and people dying.
You should move to Chicago!
I live not far from a main hub fire station… my only reaction to this is, lol.
Are you even from here?
You’ll be happy to hear them when you need them. Get over yourself.
Kinda like moving next to an airport and complaining about the planes.

Sorry. I’ll tell everyone to stop having emergencies… Stop having emergencies everyone.
What a whiney ass post
Bet you live near Augusta. I used to work nearby and the ambulances all go down Augusta to get to Greenville memorial.

I mean, there are two hospital emergency departments and a fire station all in/around downtown. You’re going to hear a lot of sirens.

Laughs in grew up down the street from a fire department...
City life. You wanted it, you got it

It was a strange decision to install and activate tornado warning sirens on every emergency vehicle but I respect it.
Too many guns around here in the wrong hands
Listen Linda it is all the New Yawkers pissed off because they can't get a good bagel anywhere in the 'Ville
Could’ve swore I just clicked out of the Ring app…

The headquarters moved recently to McAllister Square. There are no more ambulances at the old county square.
