The fly car concept consists of a an SUV type vehicle with a full complement of advanced life support equipment. It is staffed by one or two New York State Certified Level IV paramedics. The paramedics respond on 911 calls along with volunteer ambulance squads and provide advanced life support when needed.

In 1993, Empress served as a pioneer, establishing the first Paramedic Fly Car system in Northern Westchester. Having utilized a fly car system in the City of Yonkers for several years, Empress was well versed in both its development and operations.

In a mutual partnership with both the Yorktown Volunteer Ambulance Corps and the Mohegan Lake Fire Department, Empress made available the life saving tools that comprise Advanced Life Support (ALS). The additional service supplemented the volunteer basic life support ambulances. The two combined provided a superior service that has been recognized by numerous awards issued by Westchester County.
