The Answer Is A Simple, And Explained In This Video
At Edinboro, There's Something For Everyone
Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Providing Emergency Medical Services is a majority of our work in the community. We are the busiest volunteer provider of emergency medical services in the County with an average of two incidents per day and over 750 calls per year. A majority of our members are trained to the Emergency Medical Technician level which can be earned after 200 - 300 hours of training. Members may also become trained to the Emergency Medical Responder level that allows them to function as an assistant on scene and drive the ambulance with additional driver training.
Fire/Rescue
Those trained in Fire/Rescue take great pride in being one of the most highly trained departments in the County. At a minimum, members of are trained in the “Essentials” of firefighting which includes basic firefighting skills, hoseline advancement, self-contained breathing apparatus, ladders, and other skills. This training is now broken into four courses and takes approximately 160 hours to complete. In addition, there are classes on engine company, truck company, and rescue operations that members can continue their training and education.
Fire Police
Fire Police are responsible for scene security and traffic control, and are trained in basic and advanced traffic control, techniques for dealing with the media, and highway safety. Fire Police are very active in community events such as the Edinboro Triathlon, Edinboro University Homecoming, and the Christmas parade.
Support Services
Our Support Services personnel are extremely committed to serving their community, but aren't quite ready to be involved in the provision of emergency services. Members in this classification provide administrative help, conduct fundraising activities, maintain our facilities and fleet, and provide scene support to those working in the hot zone.
