About the Program

Peters Township Ambulance Service provides quality emergency care to several areas. These areas include Peters Township, North Strabane Township, The Borough of Finleyville and Nottingham Township. Our Ambulance Service also provides non-emergency transports on a case to case basis that meet medical necessity and are approved by the patient's insurance carrier.

Peters Township Ambulance Service operates three fully equipped ambulances that have been licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. We have approximately 30 paid and volunteer members of the ambulance service including Paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians and office personnel. Emergency services are provided by trained and licensed Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians.

Memberships to the Ambulance Service are available for $55 annually.

Emergency Tips

  • Dial 911 for emergencies
  • State your name, address, phone number and location of the victim
  • Indicate the nature of the emergency (if known)
  • After dark, turn on outside lights so the residence can be easily identified
  • Try to stay calm, comfort the patient, help is on the way
  • Ensure that your house number is clearly displayed and visible from the street
  • Please have all pets secured in a bedroom or another room that the patient is not in. Even the friendliest pets could cause harm to emergency personnel in times of distress
  • Do not delay summoning 911 at the first signs/symptoms of a stroke. These signs/symptoms may be confusion, facial droop, slurred speech, AND/OR weakness or paralysis to one or more extremities. The likelihood of a full recovery from a stroke is lessened with every minute, every hour
  • In a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or "mini-stroke", the signs/symptoms listed above could last only seconds to minutes. Please, do not delay or refrain from getting emergency medical treatment. TIAs are usually a precursor to a more severe stroke
  • Get medical treatment at the first onset of signs/symptoms of cardiac related chest pain. "Time is heart muscle." Delaying emergency treatment of a heart attack could cause debility or, in the worst case, death
