YOe aMBULanCe SerViCeSCeLeBraTeS 40 YearS Of SerViCe

October marks the 40th Anniversary of the Yoe Ambulance Service and 40 years of service to York Township residents. The Yoe Ambulance was founded by members of the Yoe Fire Company in October 1972 to address the need for improved ambulance response time and to enhance the level of emergency care delivered outside of the hospital. Since our inception, we have been a regional provider of emergency ambulance service, serving York Township, Windsor Township, Dallastown Borough, and Yoe Borough.

In the early years, Yoe Ambulance was an all-volunteer organization operating one ambulance and handling less than 1,000 calls a year. In 1985, emergency call volume exceeded 1,000 dispatches for the first time and the leadership saw a need for expansion. In 1987, two full-time EMTs were hired to provide weekday staffing and a second ambulance was purchased. In 1988, the station was expanded to create two ambulance bays with a dormitory and a meeting room.

During the 1990’s, Yoe Ambulance hired additional part-time staff, achieved licensure by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and was granted 501(c)3 non-profit status by the IRS. In 1998, the Yoe Borough station was expanded by adding a second story in order to create much needed office space for Yoe Fire Company and Yoe Ambulance. In 2002, in response to the ever increasing complexity of providing Emergency Medical Services to 42,000 people, a full-time manager was hired.

In 2003, annual call volume nearly exceeded 2,000 dispatches. Leadership from Goodwill Fire Company of York Township and Yoe Ambulance identified the need for enhanced service in and around the Spry area of York Township. In October of 2004, the Yoe Am-bulance began providing ambulance service from the Goodwill Fire Company on South Queen Street during daylight hours and the

unit was designated as “Ambulance 19” by York County

911. During the next three years, Yoe Ambulance worked

with the York Township Board of Commissioners to

expand Ambulance 19’s service hours to 24 hours a day.

It was only through the support of the Commissioners

that 24 hour-a-day service was accomplished without

incurring any additional cost to the taxpayer.

Today, the Yoe Ambulance Service responds to more

than 4,000 911 calls annually with our fleet of five licensed

vehicles and staff of 50 providers. Last year we provided

service 2,667 times in York Township and we have an

average response time of 5.5 minutes within the

Township. We provide paramedic level advanced life

support care from both of our stations 24 hours-a-day

and, during weekdays, we staff a third ambulance to meet

the needs of the community. We generate 80% of our

operating revenue by billing for service. If you would

like an ambulance subscription to prevent having to pay

out-of-pocket expenses for emergency ambulance service,

please contact us at 246-3679.

The Yoe Ambulance Service extends our thanks to the

citizens, staff and Commissioners of York Township for

your support over the past 40 years – without you we

would not be able to provide high quality emergency

medical services to the community!

“Thank You” to York Township residents for your patience as we transitioned to the new contracted solid waste hauler, Penn Waste, on July 1, 2012. Important guidelines to keep in mind for the residential trash collection services are as follows:

Basic Service includes three (3) 32-gallons bags or cans of trash, unlimited recycling, and one large (bulk) item per week, as well as monthly curbside yard waste collection. Cost of this service is $32.91 per quarter.

Cart Service includes one (1) 96-gallon cart of trash (only carts provided by Penn Waste), unlimited recycling, and one large (bulk) item per week, as well as monthly curb-side yard waste collection. Cost of this service is $50.91 per quarter.

Recycling Bins are the property of York Township, not the contracted hauler. The recycling bins should remain with the property if ownership is transferred. If you need

a larger recycling bin or need to replace a broken bin, please visit the Township offices to obtain another bin.

Important Note – Residential trash and recycling collection begins at 6 am on your collection day. All refuse and recycling containers and any large (bulk) item shall be placed curbside no earlier than 5:00 pm on the evening preceding the day scheduled for collection and shall be removed no later than 12:00 midnight in the evening of the day in which collection occurs.

Additional guidelines for bulk items, yard waste, and recycling can be found on the Township website, www.yorktownship.com under New Solid Waste Hauler, Penn Waste flier.

NEW CONTRACTED SOLID WASTE HAULER


Periodically, residents request that the Township allow them to build houses, garages, or other structures near streams. It seems many people still dream of living in Frank Lloyd Wright’s creation, Falling Waters. Unfortunately, history is filled with images of disasters, like Johnstown’s several floods or York County’s own floods in 1972 and 2010.

Since standard homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover flooding, Congress created the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in 1968 to help homeowners, renters, and business owners obtain flood insurance. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania requires municipalities to participate in the NFIP. As a participant, the Township has promised to manage floodplains to minimize flood risk.

The current flood insurance policy premium for $100,000 of basic flood insurance coverage on a single family residence

fLOOdPLain ManaGeMenT iS GOOd fOr YOUr BUdGeT

Downtown York during 1972 flood

(excluding contents) with a base-ment located one-foot below the base flood elevation is nearing $1,600 per year. With the NFIP program reeling from Hurricane Katrina and subse-quent disasters, federal subsidies may be phased out causing significant increases in flood insurance premiums.

So if insurance is available, why won’t the Township let residents build adjacent to streams? If your neighbor builds a new house in the floodplain, he increases the financial risk of that house being flooded. In response, the insurance companies that offer policies in York Township will raise the premium rates on their policies in the Township. So if you need a flood insurance policy, your neighbor’s new house located in the floodplain will cause your flood insurance premium to increase significantly. So, please remember that when you may not build in the floodplain, the Township is keeping its promise to protect all its residents from increased flood risk and to protect all its flood insurance policy holders in the Township from increased insurance premiums.

Staff of York Township Emergency Management

Agency (EMA), please contact York Township

Emergency Management Coordinator, Kathleen

M. Dellinger, at 717-741-3861, x189 or by email at

[email protected].

The purpose of the EMA is to prescribe those

activities to be taken by the municipal government

and other community officials to protect the lives

and property of the citizens of York Township in

the event of a natural or human-caused

(including terrorism) emergency or disaster.

As such, the EMA must satisfy the requirements

of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management

Services Code, (35 Pa. C.S. Section 7101 et seq.),

as amended, to have a disaster emergency

management plan for the municipality.

Experience in some type of emergency service is

desirable, but not necessary. Please note that if

you are presently actively involved in any

emergency service, including Police, Fire Services

or Emergency Medical Services, YOU SHOULD

NOT APPLY. If you are already involved in any of

the above, your first obligation will be to those

services and it is unlikely that you would be

available to staff the Emergency Operations

Center (EOC) in case of an emergency activation of

the EOC. In the event of an emergency activation

of the EOC, you may be required to help man the

EOC for 12 hour shifts, so you need to be available

for at least 12 hours at a time. Please take this into

consideration before applying.

The municipality embraces and utilizes the
