Yesterday’s unexpected snowstorm added another layer of challenge to an already busy day of emergency calls. With inches of snow across parts of our service area, we want to extend our sincere thanks to our local police and fire departments, and especially to our Public Works crews and township partners.

They stepped up without hesitation, salting, shoveling driveways and sidewalks, and treating icy roads, all to ensure our EMS crews could respond safely and continue serving our community.

THANK YOU!

December 27, 2025

Yesterday afternoon, Ambulance and Chair EMS was dispatched to a critical incident in Freeport Township. While units were enroute, Greene County 911 updated responding crews that there was a possibility of three to four critically injured patients. In response, four medic units and supervisors were activated across our system, including strategically positioned units equipped with blood products and advanced life-saving equipment such as ventilators.

Additional resources were requested, including Hundred Volunteer Fire Dept EMS and the New Freeport Fire Department. Monongalia EMS was requested for extra blood products. Due to inclement weather, aeromedical services were unavailable.

Crews on scene ultimately transported two patients by ground over an hour to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown while continuing to perform highly skilled care interventions throughout.

To ensure uninterrupted coverage across our geographically diverse service area, an all-call was activated within our organization, bringing in approximately 10 additional providers.

We extend our sincere thanks to our mutual aid partners throughout Greene and Washington Counties who responded both to this incident and to additional calls for service while multiple units were committed to this multi-hour event. We also thank Greene County 911 and Washington County 911 for their outstanding coordination and support in ensuring the highest level of care for our residents. We are privileged to work alongside you every day.

Following the incident, crews had the opportunity to decompress with a quick meal and a visit from VetPets of SWPA and their therapy dogs. A sincere thank you to Chaplain Fetty for taking the time to come to our station and support our crew.

The investigation remains ongoing. Any further information should be directed to the Pennsylvania State Police.
