SouthEast Regional EMS is proud to announce that we have been awarded a $38,000 grant from United States Steel to strengthen our Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) response and responder rehabilitation capabilities.
The grant will provide funding for portable tents, cooling chairs, benches, misting fans, heaters, lighting, vehicle upfitting, and tri-band mobile radios to support MCI operations and improve interagency communication.
Following the August 11, 2025 mass casualty incident at the U.S. Steel Clairton Coke Works, we saw firsthand the importance of having these resources readily available. As part of our continued commitment to strengthening our response, we have pledged to repurpose one of our existing F-350 ambulances into a Mobile Rehabilitation Unit. The unit will house the equipment purchased through this grant, while a brand-new ambulance will replace the F-350 in our active fleet.
We are grateful to United States Steel for this investment in our agency and our community. We also thank the community members and U.S. Steel workers who supported one another during that incident and continue to support our mission every day. We are proud to serve these communities and remain committed to ensuring that we are prepared to meet their needs when it matters most.
