Easton Emergency Squad

04/19/2026

This weekend, our crews spent time sharpening their skills during TECC (Tactical Emergency Casualty Care) training, led by the Lehigh Valley Pocono’s Training Institute.

From classroom work to hands-on scenarios, our providers were pushed to think fast, work together, and operate under pressure—just like the calls we train for.

We take training seriously because our community deserves the best when it matters most. This is the kind of work that makes sure we’re ready for whatever comes next.

The photos don’t even do it justice, but they give a glimpse into the level of training our team is committed to.

Huge thank you to our instructors Steve, Jon and Dr. Roesler for challenging our crews and bringing real-world experience to the table. You all were amazing!

Also a special shout out to our Lafayette EMS Club students who stepped in as patients—we appreciate you taking part and helping make the scenarios as real as possible!

Strong work, and congratulations to all the students, we are proud to have you all as part of our team!

We’re excited to launch our Community Supporter T-Shirt Fundraiser — and to share something important.

Our current building has served us for decades… but it’s beyond its prime. It’s outdated, unreliable, and no longer fits the needs of a modern EMS agency or the crews who operate from it 24/7. Simply put — we need to rebuild.

Easton Emergency Squad has officially begun working toward a new facility. One that is safe, functional, and built to support the 5,000 emergency calls we answer each year.

Proceeds from this shirt sale will go toward improving crew spaces for now and in the future building — furniture, day room areas, and the small but important things that make long 12–24 hour shifts more manageable.

This is just the beginning. In the coming months, we’ll be sharing more about our larger building initiative and opportunities for community leaders, businesses, and partners to be part of this next chapter.

If you’d like to support your EMS today, grab a shirt and wear it proudly.

We’re building something better — for our crews and for the community we serve. 💙🚑

Now that crews have had a moment to breathe after yesterday, we just want to say thank you.

This fire displaced families, seriously injured Wilson Firefighter Bobby, and sent one of our own medics to the hospital. Please keep all of them in your thoughts as they recover.

To every firefighter, EMT, paramedic, police officer, dispatcher, and support staff — thank you for showing up and giving everything you had.

Huge thanks to Suburban EMS and Bethlehem Township EMS for jumping in with transports and rehab while conditions kept changing. The medical side had a lot of moving parts, and everyone worked together exactly how it should. The patch on your arm doesn’t matter — teamwork does.

Thank you to the Northampton County Emergency Dispatch call takers and TAC/OPS crews. Sitting on the other side of the radio during something like this is its own kind of stress, and you all handled it with professionalism and heart.

Thank you to city officials and local restaurants for helping care for displaced residents and exhausted responders.

And to our own team — thank you to the employees who came in to cover trucks so service to the city never stopped. That’s not just teamwork. That’s family.

On a personal note as EMS Command, thank you to neighboring leaders who checked on my crews — and on me. It was a rough one, but we got through it together. I’m incredibly proud of our team and everyone involved yesterday. 🫶🏼

From all of us at Easton Emergency Squad, congratulations to our friends over at Hanover Township on going ALS tonight at midnight!

We wish you the best of luck tonight and beyond! 🚑 🫶🏼

❄️🚑 Snowmageddon 2026 ShoutOut 🚒❄️

While many of our community members were home enjoying extra family time, kids celebrating a snow day off from school, and living their best pajama-all-day lives, your local first responders were out navigating slippery roads, icy driveways, a foot or more of fluffy snow and everything in between.

A huge THANK YOU to the City of Easton Road Department and PennDOT for the long hours and hard work keeping roads as clear and safe as possible. You often do not get the appreciation you deserve so we want you all to know you are all hero’s in our book!

To our Family over at Easton Fire and Williams Township Fire co, You all are rockstars. Thank you for plowing or shoveling the way, and having our backs during the storm. Special thanks to the Easton FD College Hill crew for welcoming us into your house so we could have an ambulance closer to college hill, downtown and the west ward. This kind of teamwork is exactly what we strive for.

We’re proud to serve a community that looks out for one another — whether you’re behind the wheel of a plow, on a fire apparatus, in an ambulance, or home enjoying a well-earned snow day. Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy that family time.

🫶🏼💙❤️🚑

PS- Who’s ready for round 2 this weekend 😬🤣

We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season.

To all our partners working today away from their families, Police, Fire, EMS and Dispatchers stay safe and we hope you find some time to relax and enjoy the day!

A little Elf told us that Easton Area School District gets to have a Snow Day tomorrow!

We are hoping everyone has a really magical and safe day, so here are some snow day safety tips!

Snow days are the best… right up until someone tries to sled off the roof. So before the kids suit up and launch into winter adventure mode, here are a few quick tips to keep everyone safe :

• Bundle up like a burrito — hats, gloves, layers, the whole winter armor set.

• Sled smart — choose safe hills far from roads and trees.

• Stay visible — bright colors help us spot your little snow ninjas.

• Warm-up breaks — come inside for hot cocoa before toes turn into popsicles.

• Help the grown-ups — shoveling is basically a workout, but “helper snowball maker” is also an important job.

Enjoy the snow, stay safe, and have fun out there! ❄️⛄️

Once you’re all warmed up and relaxing watching some holiday movies to wind down the day, post a picture or two on this thread of your littles having fun in the snow! 🫶🏼

As this Thanksgiving comes to an end I sit here and reflect on all the great things that have happened this year.

Easton Emergency Squad was in a very dark place not so long ago, and over the past year and a half a very dedicated group of people have put their heart and soul into making us what we are today. We restored our reputation and rebuild many relationships in our community.

It is rare to have a team that is truly a family. Some may say a dysfunctional family, but still a family who support each other, look after each other and most importantly tease each other and some times argue like brothers and sisters. In a profession that is sometimes very difficult and emotionally draining having a support system and faith in each other is crucial to providers mental health which is something I personally take very seriously.

As a manager I am so incredibly thankful for every member of our team who “keep the wheels moving” every day. (A wise man used that phrase and it stuck with me as a motivation to keep on going) The compassion, dedication, and commitment to being the best they can be and serve the members of our community to the best of their ability makes me incredibly proud.

I am thankful for the opportunity to lead this team and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us. We are so lucky to have such strong partnerships with our family at Easton Fire department, Williams township fire company, and all our mutual aid companies that come in when we are out on other calls. A very special thank you to our incredible medical directors from Lehigh Valley Health network as well. Our medical directors spend countless hours helping us be the best we can be, through QA, or just taking calls with us and hanging out going over skills. The support from Easton City, Williams Township, all the wonderful council members, and all our big event organizers means the world to us.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! 🫶🏼
