EMS Provider for the town of Maine, Nanticoke, Newark Valley, Berkshire and Richford. The Maine Emergency Squad, Inc.

is a full service emergency squad providing emergency medical services to the five rural hamlets that make up the Towns of Maine and Nanticoke since 2003. The Squad is comprised of dedicated volunteer and paid professionals who all work very hard to provide the highest level of EMS care available in New York State. Our emergency vehicles and state of the art lifesaving equipment is professionally maintained and kept in “ready to roll” condition at all times. Our primary responsibility is to provide emergency medical care to our community during an emergency. We also provide Advanced Life Support (ALS) assist services to our neighboring communities. We frequently respond to medical emergencies, traumatic injuries, motor vehicle crashes and most fires. When not responding to emergency calls, the Squad also provides stand by coverage to various sporting and community events in the area. In addition to our 911 services, we are a regional Training Center for many types of medical classes. Our goal is to train you on how to make a difference in your community, and potentially save a life! Located in the Nanticoke Valley, our response area covers a large area nearing 70 square miles. The Squad covers several popular recreational destinations including camp grounds, parks, outdoor use trails and hunting areas. We also provide primary EMS response services to the Greater Binghamton Regional Airport.

Year after year, legislation is introduced in Albany to address problems facing Emergency Medical Services. Yet many of these proposals never make it into law.

Here are just a few examples:

S4020/A3392 – Comprehensive EMS Reform
Proposed significant changes to how EMS is organized and supported throughout New York. Passed the Senate in 2024 but was never enacted.

S9850/A10568 – EMS Essential Service
Would have established EMS as an essential service and created a framework for ensuring service availability statewide. Never made it out of committee.

S4586/A2813 – EMS State Aid
Would have designated municipal EMS as an essential service for state aid purposes. Never became law.

S1852 – EMS Funding
Proposed a state funding mechanism to support EMS operations. Never made it out of committee.

S5000 – EMS Property Tax Cap Exemption
Would have given municipalities greater flexibility to fund EMS by exempting certain EMS expenses from the property tax cap. Never became law.

S5122 – Ambulance Assessment
Passed the Senate overwhelmingly in 2024 but never became law.

S426 – County EMS Cooperation
Would have expanded opportunities for counties and municipalities to cooperate in providing and financing EMS. Never made it out of committee.

These aren’t new problems. New York has studied EMS, acknowledged its challenges, and introduced legislation intended to address them.

Yet proposals continue to stall.

So here’s our question to New York State legislators: Why?

Why do bills addressing EMS funding, service availability, and system reform repeatedly fail to become law?

What concerns are preventing these proposals from moving forward?

And perhaps most importantly, what needs to change to get meaningful EMS legislation passed?

EMS providers and the communities they serve deserve to understand what’s holding these efforts back.

We aren’t asking legislators to agree with every proposal. We’re asking for an explanation of why so many proposals never reach the finish line.

New York has spent years discussing the problems facing EMS. When will those discussions turn into lasting solutions?

Four Maine Emergency Squad, Inc. personnel are in Orlando attending EMS World Expo!

The Florida sunshine is a bonus, but the real focus is learning. Our team has taken part in sessions on leadership, mental health, reimbursement updates, and many other topics taught by national speakers.

The Expo is also a chance to connect with vendors, hear what’s changing across the EMS industry, and build relationships with providers from around the world. Those conversations help us bring back new ideas, knowledge, and connections to support our agency and the communities we serve.

We’re proud to invest in continued learning for our team and grateful for the opportunity to represent Maine Emergency Squad at EMS World Expo.
