New Station is Completed!

We have officially moved into our new station! The journey for our building project began more than 6 years ago with the realization that the space we had was not sufficient for our growing service. We now have room for increased training opportunities, bunk rooms for members to stay while staffing the trucks, garage area to house all 3 of our trucks, space to secure supplies, and space for our engineers and other officers to work as needed. All areas of the station will be used to maximize our abilities to continue to provide high quality care to our community. It will take time to put everything in place and we ask that if you stop in to bear with us while we make it home.  

While we are aware that not everyone is excited about the project, we are humbled by the overwhelming support of our community. We are extremely thankful to all the businesses, community members, local municipalities, and our volunteers who have donated either financially, with supplies, or giving time to the project. We cannot say thank you enough! It is only with the continued support of the local businesses and community members we are able to provide the service that we do.

We wish to send a heartfelt THANK YOU to the officer and members of the Fivepointville Fire Company for you willingness to house us for the past 7 months. Your generosity and hospitality is greatly appreciated!

Please feel free to stop in when someone is in the office to take a look around.

Station 36 is now in service!

On December 31, 2013 the call sign for Ambulance 3-19 was changed to Ambulance 36. This change is being done to accommodate a new dispatching system put in place by Lancaster County Wide Communications that required all EMS stations to go to a two digit number. This will have no change in our operations.

Accident with reported entrapment

At 1426 hrs on January 9, Ambulance 3-19-1 was dispatched along with Station 3-14 (Fivepointville), Rescue 1-3 (Denver) and Medic 4 (Ephrata Hospital) to the are of 1559 Dry Tavern Rd for an accident with reported entrapment. EMS Chief 3-19 (High) arrived first and found a one vehicle overturned with all occupants out and started patient care. Upon arrival of Ambulance 3-19-1 the patient was packaged and transported to a local hospital for evaluation.

      

December Training

Prior to the regular monthly meeting the members of the Fivepointville Ambulance continued with it's monthly training. This month we worked on putting patient's who have fallen and injured their back or neck on spine board and getting them out of a basement and down from an attic space. This was not a normal training and required our members to think outside the box and to problem solve as a team.
