Point Pleasant Plumsteadville EMS was formed January 1,1998 by the merger of two ambulance units from Point Pleasant Fire Company and Plumsteadville Volunteer Fire Company. The two separate organizations had been offering volunteer ambulance service in their respective areas since the 1950s.

On July 1, 2000, we began to offer Advanced Life Support (ALS). In order for us to do this, we are required by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to staff our ambulance with a paramedic, a person who is certified to provide advanced medical care in the field, along with an emergency medical technician (EMT). The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania requires this staffing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
