The Chicago North EMS System covers which geographic area?

• A. South of Fullerton Avenue
• B. North of Fullerton Avenue to Addison Street
• C. East of the Chicago River
• D. North of Fullerton Avenue to Howard Street

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that Chicago EMS regions are defined by clear north–south street boundaries so units know which system handles a location. The North EMS System covers the stretch from Fullerton Avenue in the south up to Howard Street in the north, meaning everything between those two streets (even as it crosses the river if needed) falls within that north-side system. Choosing a boundary south of Fullerton would place that area in a different system, Addison Street lies well south of Howard, and a boundary described as east of the Chicago River doesn’t reflect the north–south limits used to define the North area. So the area covered is north of Fullerton Avenue to Howard Street.
