Our office had many opportunities to interact with Amos through the years, and perhaps some of you did as well. This is terribly sad news and our thoughts and prayers are with Amos, his family, and his extended family at EMS West.
Amos served the Commonwealth and beyond with dignity and a smile.
Rest easy Amos, we will take it from here.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our friend, colleague, and former coworker, Amos P. Cameron. After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Amos passed away on Wednesday, October 29th, surrounded by his family and closest friends.

Amos dedicated his life to Emergency Services in Allegheny County and throughout Western Pennsylvania. During his time with EMSI and EMS West, he oversaw Regional Operations and led multiple Strike Team deployments to Louisiana and New Jersey. His leadership, commitment, and compassion left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege to work alongside him.

Funeral arrangements will be shared once they are available. Please keep Amos’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

"Time is passing. Yet for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will honor every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and the ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children.”

Former President – George W. Bush

Today, EMMCO West, Inc. staff had the privilege of assisting with the PA EMS Memorial Bike Ride—a powerful event where riders pedal in remembrance of the EMS heroes who gave their lives in service to others.

We extend our sincere thanks to the departments who generously opened their doors as water stops along today’s route: Mckean Hose Company,
Edinboro Volunteer Fire Department,
West Mead #2 Volunteer Fire Department, Cochranton VFD, and
Sandy Lake VFD.

A special thank you as well to EmergyCare who hosted the start of this year’s ride—the first leg of a three-day journey of remembrance, unity, and resilience.

To the riders: we honor your dedication, perseverance, and the meaningful tribute you bring to our EMS family. 💙
