Edit: Thanks for the folks that are in adjacent areas that got back to me and were kind, I was just curious as a laymen New Yorker.
UPDATE: One of my friends got back to me I guess they have blueprints and do drills and do drills and shit and that I’m not allowed to know the rest – whatever bitch tits, comments basically stated that

Several years ago a story went viral about how at an Amazon warehouse there were signs posted that if an emergency happened to call security, not 911. People were thinking that it was some sort of conspiracy nonsense that Amazon didn’t want this stuff to be reported, when in reality it was that security was best able to contact 911 and coordinate with rescue crews to respond to an incident in a large facility.
Sometime after this story I was visiting with my uncle who spent his career as a firefighter, eventually being a captain in large city before becoming a chief in a smaller city before retiring. I mentioned it to him and he told me that anytime he moved to a new station time would be taken to go to large facilities and tour them. They’d learn the layout of the place and how to coordinate with the security personnel there.
So it comes down to a combination of learning the places in their precinct, and coordinating with the people who work there.
I’ve personally seen this in action. One time I was driving down a road next to a campus of a big bank, one that had multiple buildings over several acres. There was an ambulance approaching with their sirens going and I saw at the entrance to the parking lot a golf cart with security guards waiting for them. They were there to escort the ambulance to the appropriate building and guide them to where the medical emergency was occurring.
