The Monroe Township Board of Supervisors recently updated the ambulance and paramedic response service areas within  the Township.  This was done after careful consideration, working closely with the fire company and EMS companies and having a complete distance/time study completed.

The map outlines the updated service areas for each Ambulance, to include Ambulance 64 - Dillsburg; Ambulance 91 - Yellow Breeches; and Ambulance 82 - West Shore.  It is to be noted that Silver Spring Ambulance has been removed and replaced from the service area it had covered in the past. 

Please review the map that indicates the proper Ambulance servicing the area that you are located in.  Each Ambulance company provides an opportunity for Monroe residents to join their membership for ambulance and paramedic services. You should be receiving a membership application in the mail in the near future.  Questions, please call:
