The Yoe Fire Co. Ambulance Service Inc. was founded by members of the Yoe Fire Co. No. 1 in October, 1972. At the time, ambulance service was provided by three local funeral homes, the founders knew they could provide an enhanced level of service...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 and the Goodwill Fire Co. No. 1 of York Township in Spry. We provide 24 hour a day transport capable Advanced Life Support service from the Yoe station (MICU 36) and we operate a Basic Life Support ambulance 24 hours a day at the York Township station (Ambulance 19).
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 also provided career Fire Apparatus Operator coverage to the Yoe Fire Co. No. 1 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 (501c3) charitable organization incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and provides emergency ambulance service. In order to remain available for emergencies, we no longer offer scheduled routine ambulance transportation. In 2007, we responded to 3,285 emergency calls. In 2008 we will respond to over 3,600 emergency calls.
