Livestream: Ambulance convoy traveling to Fenway to honor EMS workers
The convoy of 50 ambulances will travel from Worcester as part of National EMS Week.
A convoy of 50 ambulances will travel from Worcester to Fenway Park today in honor of the state’s paramedics, EMTs, and 911 dispatchers as part of National EMS Week.
The “Convoy of Champions” will be led by a state police escort and a medical helicopter. A flyover of two more medical helicopters will greet the ambulance crews once they’re at Fenway. After, there will be a ceremony with video tributes and live speeches from the Red Sox, Mayor Marty Walsh, Gov. Charlie Baker, and other state officials.
The route of the ambulance convoy from Worcester to Boston.
The procession is particularly significant this year because of the response to the coronavirus pandemic by the over 20,000 EMS professionals in Massachusetts, one of the hardest hit states in the country.
The ambulances will congregate at UMass Medical Center in Worcester at 12:30 p.m. The convoy will start their route on the Mass Pike at 1:15 p.m. and is set to arrive at the warning track inside Fenway Park at 2 p.m. Watch the livestream of the convoy below.
