Standby Requests

H.O.P.S. EMS can provide ambulance and/or first responder standby at community events for Herrick, Orwell, Pike, Stevens Townships, and LeRaysville Borough.  We ask that requests be made 6 to 8 weeks prior to the event so that we can plan for it.  We are a 100% volunteer organization and will do our best to provide personnel, but we sometimes have limited resources.  Please be aware that we may not be able to provide coverage.  Donations are requested for any standby provided.

Coverage we can provide:

• Single EMS Provider – 1 EMT will provide immediate medical interventions on the scene.  Would activate 911 if a patient needs to be transported.
• Non-Dedicated BLS Ambulance – 1 BLS Ambulance is provided with a full crew. However, this ambulance may be required to respond to 911 calls in the area during the event.  They may arrive late, leave early, or miss the event, depending on the call volume in our coverage area.
• Dedicated BLS Ambulance – 1 BLS Ambulance dedicated to remaining on the scene during the entire event and being able to transport a patient if needed.
