Career Fair

On April 10th, Battalion Chief Ostrowski, Chief Welch, and EMT Grace McCarthy participated in the annual Career Fair at Daniel Boone High School. What made this event especially meaningful was Grace’s unique perspective—serving not only as an EMT with EHBEMS, but also as a current student at the school. This allowed her to connect with her peers on a more personal level, offering firsthand insight into what it takes to earn an EMT certification while still in high school. She spoke in depth about the value of volunteerism, balancing academic responsibilities with training, and the opportunities for growth within EMS, including her goal of becoming a crew chief in the future.
EHBEMS would like to thank Daniel Boone High School for once again welcoming us to be part of this impactful event. Career fairs like this serve as a vital bridge between education and real-world opportunities, giving students direct access to professionals who can share honest experiences and practical guidance. By engaging students early, we help them better understand the pathways available to them—whether that means entering the workforce shortly after graduation or continuing their education in the medical field.
EHBEMS remains committed to supporting and mentoring the next generation. By fostering curiosity and providing accessible entry points into emergency medical services, we aim to empower young individuals to pursue meaningful careers. Many students at this stage of life are at a pivotal decision-making point, and exposure to EMS can spark a lifelong passion for helping others. Whether they choose to remain in EMS or advance into fields such as paramedicine, nursing, or other healthcare professions, these early experiences can play a critical role in shaping their future.

Vehicle Rescue Horseshoe Pike

On April 7th, units from Elverson Honey Brook Area EMS and Honey Brook Fire Company were dispatched to the 2200 block of Horseshoe Pike for a motor vehicle accident with unknown injuries.

While en route, Chief 33 received updated information indicating that a vehicle was on its side against a residence, with one occupant trapped. The incident was further complicated by a downed utility pole, with wires lying across the roadway and in close proximity to the vehicle.

Upon arrival, Chief 33 confirmed the reports and established command. Due to the confirmed entrapment, additional resources, including Tower Medic 93, were requested to assist.

Through coordinated efforts between EMS and fire personnel, crews safely extricated the patient from the vehicle. The patient was assessed, treated on scene, and transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Elverson Honey Brook Area EMS extends its appreciation to Tower Medic 93 and the volunteers of Honey Brook Fire Company for the continued partnership and dedication in serving the community.
