🚑 Stronger Together. Serving Our Communities. 🤝

Emergency services are built on more than just responding to calls. They’re built on teamwork, friendship, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to the communities we serve.

Tonight, Tamaqua Ambulance is proud to provide Advanced Life Support (ALS) standby coverage for the Saint Clair Parade alongside our friends and colleagues at Schuylkill EMS, Saint Clair EMS, and Tremont EMS!

Events like these are a great reminder that while we may wear different uniforms and represent different organizations, we all share the same mission: providing the highest level of care and service to those who depend on us.

Strong interagency relationships are essential to emergency medical services. By working together, supporting one another, and building lasting friendships, we strengthen not only our individual organizations but the emergency services system as a whole.

Different agencies. One mission. One team. 🚑💙

🚨Another Busy Day for Tamaqua Ambulance 🚨

The wheels haven’t stopped turning, and neither have our crews! It’s been a nonstop couple of days here at Tamaqua Ambulance, with our crews staying busy answering calls.

🚑💨 Between yesterday and today, our crews have rolled out the doors 23 times to answer calls for service across our coverage area. When including calls upgraded from Basic Life Support (BLS) to Advanced Life Support (ALS), that number climbs to 25 responses!

Through it all, our dedicated EMTs and Paramedics continue to answer the call, providing professional, compassionate care to those who need it most.

👏 A huge thank you to our crews for their continued hard work, dedication, and commitment to serving our communities. Whether it’s the first call of the shift or the tenth, our crews are always ready to respond.

🚑 A Family Affair in EMS!

Today, DC Shearn was requested by A6402 for an ALS rendezvous involving a patient experiencing breathing problems.

The catch? A6402 happened to be staffed by his brother and sister — EMT C. Peters & EMT K. Peters!

The crew rendezvoused with Paramedic Shearn, assisted with ALS care, and transported the patient to a local hospital for further treatment.

It’s not every day you get to work a call alongside family, but we love to share these stories when they come around!🚑💙

🚑 It’s been a busy day at TCAA!

Just before 8:30 AM, our BLS ambulance and Medic Chase Unit were dispatched to Schuylkill Township for an ALS fall victim. Less than 15 minutes later, a second ALS fall was dispatched in Tamaqua Borough.

With our primary crews committed, our dedicated non-emergent transport crew who were not committed elsewhere immediately placed their ambulance in service and responded. Due to an extended mutual-aid ALS ETA, our BLS crew handled the call and transported the patient to the hospital.

A great example of our crews managing our inner agency resources to ensure coverage when multiple emergencies occur at once. Always ready. Always serving. 🚑💙

🧩 Community Support That Brings Comfort 🧩

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Schuylkill County Quilters Guild for their generous donation of three handmade quilts to our organization.

These quilts will be placed on our ambulances and used to help comfort patients who may become overwhelmed during an emergency. For individuals with special needs, sensory sensitivities, dementia, or other cognitive challenges, an ambulance ride can be an unfamiliar and stressful experience. A colorful, comforting quilt can provide a welcome distraction, something familiar to focus on, and an added sense of security during their care.

We are incredibly grateful to the Schuylkill County Quilters Guild for thinking of our patients and helping us add another tool to provide compassionate, patient-centered care to our community.

Thank you for supporting Tamaqua EMS and, most importantly, the people we serve! ❤️🚑

🚑 6502 HAS OFFICIALLY ARRIVED! 🚑

We’re excited to announce the official delivery from Glick Fire Equipment Company and successful licensing of Unit 6502, the newest addition to the Tamaqua Community Ambulance fleet!

6502 is dual licensed as both a BLS and ALS ambulance, giving us even more flexibility to meet the needs of our community. While it can operate in either role, 6502 will primarily serve as our first due unit, responding to some of the most critical emergencies throughout our coverage area.

This unit represents another major step forward for Tamaqua EMS as we continue to strengthen and expand our Advanced Life Support capabilities. From the equipment inside to the capabilities it brings to the street, 6502 was built with one goal in mind — providing the highest level of care possible when our community needs us most.

Welcome to the fleet, 6502!

The purchase of 6502 was made possible through a Local Share Account (LSA) Grant sponsored by Tamaqua Borough. We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to Tamaqua Borough and its officials for their continued support of Tamaqua Community Ambulance and emergency medical services in our community.

Their support and sponsorship helped make this important investment possible and allows us to continue improving the equipment, resources, and level of care available to the residents we serve.
