Freeport EMS

Ambulances 70-2, 70-3, and 70-1 in
front of Station 70
Originally started in 1941
with one ambulance, Freeport EMS was an all-volunteer service. Almost 60
years later, Freeport EMS is a combination career/volunteer Advanced Life Support Emergency Medical Service
provider with 3 fully equipped, state-of-the-art ambulances, 13
Paramedics, and 19 EMT's. We staff at
least one ALS ambulance 24/7 with career Paramedics and EMT's, with
additional personnel on staff during busier shifts, and we have
volunteer staff who supplement the career staff when needed. We provide EMS coverage for Freeport Borough, South
Buffalo Twp., Buffalo
Twp., Allegheny Twp., and Winfield Twp., and have mutual aide
agreements with A-K Pulsar Paramedic Response, Saxonburg EMS, Lower
Kiski EMS, Citizens Hose EMS, Ford City EMS, and Kittanning #6 EMS.
We also have Quick Response Services in the majority of our area that
respond on all EMS calls in their respective areas, South Buffalo
Township has South Buffalo VFC's QRS, and Buffalo Township has Sarver
Fire-Rescue's QRS as well as Buffalo VFC's QRS. Freeport Borough
has Freeport VFD when needed as well. They are equipped with Basic
Life Support equipment and staffed mostly with certified First
Responders and Emergency Medical Technicians that provide care to
patients while awaiting our arrival, and also sometimes transport to the
hospital along with the ambulance crew when needed. They are an
important part of the EMS system, and we work hand in hand with all
three of them to provide the best medical services and patient care
possible. In
2009 we ran 1292 calls, and we are currently on pace for over 1500 calls
in 2010. We have medical command through
West Penn Allegheny Health System, Allegheny-Kiski Medical Center, which
is located in Natrona Heights, PA. We also are the standby crew
for the stands and pits at Lernerville Speedway, which is located in
Buffalo Township. We provide medical coverage for Freeport High
School football games, Freeport Youth Football games, Freeport International Baseball
Invitational games, and numerous other events held in and around the
Borough.
