WAKEFIELD EMS

Today, Wakefield EMS is a hybrid agency with both paid and volunteer personnel that responds to over 800 emergencies every year in its service area of 75 square miles. Overall, Wakefield EMS has grown considerably in nearly 50 years and is now a progressive, leading EMS agency... Wakefield EMS began as an all-volunteer group of 12 providers trained in First Aid and CPR. During their first year of service, beginning March 1974, Wakefield EMS volunteers responded to just under 100 emergencies. Licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health as a Basic Life Support EMS agency, Wakefield EMS continued to operate as an all-volunteer agency until the early 2000's when the first paid employee was hired to fill the void left by a nationwide trend of decreasing volunteerism... Wakefield is proud to remain a community-driven and volunteer-based EMS agency. In addition to 911 emergency response, we provide a number of other services and programs year-round!
