Fivepointville Ambulance is located in Brecknock Township, Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania.
We run about 550
calls a year with two ambulances and cover all of Brecknock Township,
Terre Hill Borough and parts of East Earl Township, Ephrata Township,
Earl Township, Caernarvon Township, Adamstown Borough and parts of Berks
county on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
In 1960 a group of Community members went out and
brought an old hearse that was fixed up and used to transport patients to
the hospital. Our Charter Members were Leonard Weinhold, Melvin W.
Weinhold, Paul H. Weinhold, Warren E. Martzell, Leroy H. Kochel, and
Rufus Habecker, and Martin G. Weaver assisted them with the purchase of
the first vehicle. The charter members ran the ambulance from the garage
of one of the members. Since they were also part of the Fire Company we
were then housed in the same building. In 1966 Fivepointville Ambulance
became incorporated as the Fivepointville Ambulance Service. In 1997 the
ambulance service moved across the street to our current location. We
are a non-profit organization with dedicated volunteers that are
committed to serving our residence and visitors to our community.
The Fivepointville Ambulance was known as Ambulance 3-14. In
April 2007 we changed our call sign to Ambulance 3-19. In 2007
we placed a second ambulance in service to try to keep up with
the increasing call volume and our growing community. On July
8th 2007 Ambulance 3-19-2 ran it's first call. We currently have
about 45 volunteers. We also have 3 part time EMT's on staff to
run during the day when our volunteers are hard at work at their
"normal" jobs. |
