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.

Terre Hill Days 2010

2010-08-17T20:12:30Z

The week of July 14 proved to be a very busy week for our volunteers. The annual Terre Hill Days celebration was being held in Terre Hill Boro. The event started off Wednesday night with a parade to celebrate the Terre Hill Fire Companies 100th anniversary. Many area companies came together for a parade through town and were judged for the best apparatus at the conclusion of the parade. The Fivepointville Ambulance Service was able to hold 3 trophies. Thursday night started one of our annual fund raisers of selling french fries. As with the past couple years, we again teamed up with the Fivepointville Fire Company and sold meat ball sandwiches along with our french fries. Saturday morning our volunteers were up bright and early and stood by along with an ambulance from New Holland for the 5k run. Later in the day Ambulance 3-19-1 stood by for the running of the outhouses and then that evening Ambulance 3-19-1 and Ambulance 3-19-2 stood by at the Terre Hill park for the evenings fire works show. Our members treated several people for minor injures and several transports had to be made due to the excessive heat. Thank you to all our members who spend countless hours to keep our trucks running and for helping with fund raisers such as this.
