Frequently Asked Questions

How often do we respond?

The Bryn Athyn Fire Company Ambulance is dispatched about 1600 times each year. Statistically, chances are high that we will be on your street during the year, assisting at a nearby home or business, if not at your own.

How many ambulances do we have?

We have two ambulances certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Our two units, purchased in 2009 and 2016, carry all the required equipment for Advance Life Support (Paramedic) services.

Who responds when you call 9-1-1?

This depends on the reason that you call. An ambulance will arrive for medical emergencies - sudden illness or severe injuries. Our local police departments also serve as first responders, often arriving quickly because they are already on patrol. Officers will begin first aid treatment and let us know what to expect when we reach the scene. Finally, rescue teams bring special tools to get into vehicles that are damaged in an accident.
