Earlier today, Northwest EMS EMT Theron Boughter and the EMS crew working in our Manhiem station (Theron, Paramedic Chris Wright, and EMT Emily Reiff), attended the Manhiem VFW’s dedication ceremony for the newly constructed Veterans Memorial on Memorial Drive in Manhiem Borough.

Theron retired from active duty after more 30 years of service. He continues to serve in EMS. To ALL of our Northwest EMS staff who are serving or have served, THANK YOU. Happy Veterans Day!

Shiny and clean for tonight’s Manheim Community Farm show Parade.

This much anticipated annual event is a showstopper to which families bring the their children. Please respect our traffic control folks. For the safety of everyone, do not move a barricade to get through for any reason. In some cases the very streets are dark and all our efforts are to make this a fun family event.

Last evening Northwest EMS participated in a bicycle safety event hosted by Manheim Pack 47 where participants learned bike and roadway safety.

Everyone learned basic hand signals and the importance of wearing proper gear such as a helmet and light snacks were served. Thank you Pack 47 for inviting us!

Recently we delivered dozens of items to the Child Life Teams at both Lancaster General Hospital and Hershey Children's Hospital. The items may seem ordinary, but for a child who is in the hospital, something as simple as a small hand-held game, an activity book, a small toy or other similar item may be the one thing that takes their mind off the anxiety of being separated from family and the fear they may feel as they undergo tests and procedures.

To all who donated, thank you. Your donation will bring a smile to many children.

The only thing more tragic than death, is a death that could have been prevented.

This morning 130 teachers were trained by Northwest EMS on how to stop a preventable death by learning the tactics to respond to a life-threatening traumatic hemorrhage.

Because the day after a tragedy is not the day to learn these simple lifesaving skills, contact our community Outreach Manager for a class for your group. Call 717-371-8282 or email [email protected].

Tonight’s Northwest EMS crew at the Elizabethtown Fair.

If you haven’t been to the Fair yet, you still have through Saturday.

The weather is PERFECT for enjoying the Elizabethtown Fair tonight. Be sure to say "Hi" to the Northwest EMS standby crew!

Northwest EMS will have a dedicated crew each night of the fair and on Saturday. All of our crews love when the community stops by and says hello.

Looks like NWEMS crew, Young and Bruckno, are maybe contemplating life choices and wondering if they should have been firefighters. If you see them (or any of our EMS crews today), remind them they made the right choice and we’re proud of them.
