Yoe Fire Co. Ambulance Service Inc.
Serving Since 1972
The Yoe Fire Co. Ambulance Service Inc. was founded by members of the Yoe Fire Company in October, 1972. At the time, ambulance service was provided by three local funeral homes, our founders knew they could provide an enhanced level of service to the community...and they succeeded.
Today, the Yoe Fire Co. Ambulance Service Inc. serves a primary population of 35,000 people residing in four municipalities. Those municipalities include Yoe Borough, Dallastown Borough, Windsor Township and York Township. We operate from two stations, the Yoe Fire Co. No. 1 in Yoe Borough (MICU 36) and the Goodwill Fire Co. No. 1 in York Township (MICU 19). We provide 24-hour a day transport capable Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance service from each station. A second Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance is staffed at the Yoe Borough station from 6 AM to 6 PM, during week-days, in order enhance the level of service provided during this high demand time period.
Additionally, we are under contract with the Dallastown Area School District and the York County School of Technology to provide sports and large event EMS standby coverage. Since 2002, we have provided career Fire Apparatus Operator coverage to the Yoe Fire Company from 7 AM to 5 PM during weekdays.
Also, in a unique relationship, the Yoe Fire Co. Ambulance Service Inc. employs Yoe Borough's full-time public works official and leases him back to the Borough based on a comprehensive staffing agreement. This relationship allows the Borough's only full-time employee to enjoy all of the benefits available from a larger employer. In return, Yoe Borough not only compensates the ambulance service monthly for the expenses related to this employee, but also permits the public works official to respond to day-time emergencies as an EMT and firefighter with the Yoe Fire Co. No. 1.
The Yoe Fire Co. Ambulance Service Inc. is a non-profit, 501(c)3, charitable organization incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We are licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and we are dispatched by the York County 911 Center. In order to remain available for emergencies, we no longer offer scheduled routine ambulance transportation. In 2008 we responded to 3,669 emergency calls and we will respond to over 4,000 emergency calls in 2009.
