Moshannon Valley EMS is proudly participating in the annual Houtzdale Days Parade tonight with multiple units in attendance. Supporting and attending events hosted by our neighboring services is important to us, as it strengthens partnerships and reinforces unity within the emergency services community.

As with many parades we attend, we respectfully opt out of judging. Our focus remains on the image we present to the public and the pride we take in being a dependable, professional presence in our community. We sincerely thank you for your continued support and remain committed to the continued progression of emergency services across the entire Moshannon Valley region.

Yesterday, Moshannon Valley EMS was proud to be a part of the first day of the 2025 Philipsburg Heritage Days! This year’s theme, “Salute to Those Who Protect and Serve,” honored the brave men and women of Fire, Police, and EMS.

💥 Our EMS crews staffed a community booth where we connected with visitors, answered questions, and handed out resources and free goodies.

🚑 One of our ambulances was stationed in the Kids Zone, where children could explore the truck and learn more about EMS.

🖍️ Some of our Public Safety Education Institutes current EMT students helped distribute coloring books and safety-themed materials, helping engage and educate young future responders.

🎤 Chief Fred Ferguson served as the keynote speaker during the opening ceremony, delivering a powerful message about the vital role of emergency services in our community and the importance of unity among Fire, EMS, and Police. He closed his remarks with a heartfelt prayer, honoring all who serve and asking for safety and strength for those who protect our communities every day.

We are thankful to be part of such a strong, supportive community. You can find us up there again today from 10am to 10pm.

Over the Independence Day holiday, Moshannon Valley EMS responded to 32 emergency incidents throughout our coverage area. Based on an average turnaround time of approximately 2 hours per call—which can vary depending on location and hospital transport—our crews dedicated an estimated 62 total hours actively responding to emergencies over the past 48-hour period.

In addition to these responses, we were proud to have every unit (6) fully staffed and in attendance at the Columbia Volunteer Fire Company annual 4th of July Parade, showcasing our commitment to both emergency preparedness and community engagement. A huge thank you to their organization and congratulations for another fantastic and successful parade!

With our crews operating 24/7, and help from off duty personnel, we continue to meet the demands of an increasingly busy service area while maintaining a strong presence at local events, to the best of our abilities.

We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July, and as always, we remain ready to serve when you need us most.

🚒🔥 Help Us Support Our Local Firefighters! 🔥🚒

Moshannon Valley EMS is asking for your help! We’re collecting non-perishable snack items (like beef sticks, granola bars, crackers, trail mix), bottled water, and electrolyte or flavor packets to stock our Incident Rehab supplies, and we could use the community’s support to make this possible.

Our local VOLUNTEER fire departments work tirelessly to keep us safe, responding to fires, crashes, rescues, and other emergencies across the Moshannon Valley. These crews often operate for hours in extreme conditions. That’s where we come in.

💧 What is Fire Rehab?
Fire Rehab is a critical service provided by EMS during extended incidents like structure fires, wildfires, long-duration rescues, or even training exercises. It’s our job to help ensure firefighters stay hydrated, fed, cool (or warm), and medically monitored so they can safely return to the job, or be pulled if their health is at risk.

We are working to enhance the level of care we provide during these operations, and your donation helps us give back to the volunteers and professionals who give so much to our community.

📦 Donation Ideas:
• Beef sticks & jerky
• Granola or protein bars
• Crackers & snack packs
• Bottled water
• Gatorade/Powerade mix packets
• Liquid IV or electrolyte packets
• Individual flavor mixes for bottles

Some larger items we are welcoming are bag chairs, coolers, and pop-up tents.

Donations can be dropped off at Moshannon Valley EMS, 14 W Locust St, Philipsburg, PA. Make sure you let the crew know that it’s for fire rehab! If you’re not sure what to bring, feel free to message us! If you’re unable to support this mission financially, a simple share of this post will help spread the word!

Together, let’s take care of the ones who take care of us.
