UPDATE: Limerick Township is set to enhance its emergency medical services with a new Freedom Valley Medical Rescue crew, beginning October 28. This crucial move will allow two designated 9-1-1 ambulance crews to operate within the township, dramatically improving response times and services for residents.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT: The addition of a crew stationed at the Limerick Fire Department-Linfield Station, alongside the existing crew at the Limerick Fire Department-Limerick Station on Ridge Pike, marks a significant milestone for local emergency services. This expansion is part of a long-term strategy by the Board of Supervisors aimed at strengthening public safety throughout Limerick and ensuring rapid medical assistance for the community.
Officials have been working diligently for years to support all emergency service operations in Limerick, including the local police and the all-volunteer fire department. Remarkably, this strategy has allowed Limerick’s fire department to maintain its volunteer status, saving taxpayers approximately $5 million annually.
The joint municipal support strategy with Freedom Valley Medical Rescue has been instrumental in this expansion. Limerick Township officials expressed their appreciation to State Rep. Joe Ciresi and State Sen. Tracy Pennycuick, who played pivotal roles in securing state grant funding for new ambulances and essential equipment.
Authorities stress that this new EMS coverage will integrate with existing services from other regional agencies, further enhancing the community’s medical response capabilities.
As Limerick residents anticipate the rollout of these vital services, officials encourage any questions about the expanded EMS coverage or public safety services to be directed to [email protected] or by calling 610-495-6432.
This urgent development highlights Limerick Township’s commitment to public health and safety, ensuring that high-quality emergency medical services are readily available for all residents. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
