Chief’s
Message:
Welcome to the online home of Bellefonte EMS.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) has evolved over
the past 50 years from a day of ‘ambulance drivers’
with minimal medical training to the highly skilled
healthcare professionals of today that are able to
perform many basic and advanced medical assessment
and treatments prior to your arrival at the hospital
emergency department. Our organization and
dedicated personnel are constantly working to
improve our education, skills, and equipment in
order to provide quality emergency medical services
to the communities that we serve.
I invite
you to explore this site and believe that your
knowledge of EMS will be enhanced.

Tip of the Season – “If
We Can’t Find You–We Can’t Help You”
Please be sure that your
house number is placed in a highly visible
location, near the front door, on the outside of
your home. Bellefonte EMS Chief S. Rhoat
recently stated, “All too frequently our
ambulance crews are unable to locate the address
of an emergency because the home does not have
reflective, visible street numbers where the
responding emergency vehicles can easily see
them; wasting precious moments.” If your home
sits back from the roadway, place the house
number on both sides of the mailbox if it sits
in front of your home; if the mailbox is grouped
with others then place the house numbers on both
sides of a sign or pole at the end of your
driveway.
