Please join TSFRS in celebrating National EMS Week, 5/17-23. TSFRS operates a state certified QRS (Quick Response Service) for medical emergencies, in addition to our other services to the citizens of Spring Township. Also please join us in saluting our partners in this process, especially the personnel of the Western Berks Ambulance Assn. who provide the primary paramedic and basic life support transport service to the Township. We frequently respond alongside our EMS agency providers such as Western Berks to assist the paramedics and EMTs in providing lifesaving care during non-fire, medical emergencies.
All TSFRS career staff and many of our active volunteer firefighters are state certified Emergency Medical Technicians. Our vehicles are also certified with AEDs, oxygen, trauma kits and diagnostic gear among other tools to support the EMS providers or initiate immediate care in the event that our unit arrives first. This makes us a vital early link in the emergency care chain.
