Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)

A quick response service (QRS) program is being established to support the emergency medical services provided in the Borough of Phoenixville by TowerDirect EMS - Phoenixville Division. This will be a licensed service through the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Due to rising call volume, increased population and greater demand on the EMS system as a whole this is a service that is needed.

• At least 18 years of age
• Interview with our Membership/Nominations Committee
• We will submit a criminal background inquiry
• You must submit a Pennsylvania Child Abuse Clearance (directions will be provided)
• All new volunteers will be in a probationary period for 6 months

Additional requirements for those wishing to become a EMT:

• EMT: complete approximately 150-200 hours of training in your first 12-18 months.
