In honor of emergency service workers, and in remembrance of the tragic events of 9/11/2001, the students of Central Elementary School in Elizabeth Township presented our staff with baked treats on 9/11/2008. 

 Many thanks to everyone at Central Elementary who made this possible!

ETA-EMS is an active participant in PA Region 4 EMS Strike Team.  The team is comprised of 13 ambulance services from the western part of PA.  The primary mission of PA ST-1 is the transport of patients during a disaster event.  PA ST-1 was actively involved during Hurricane’s Rita and Katrina in 2006.  In order to operate effectively, the team must be completely self-sufficient.
