Since it’s founding in 1938, Second Alarmers Association and Rescue Squad of Montgomery County, Incorporated (SARS) has grown to become one of the largest private not-for-profit pre-hospital Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers in the region, responding to over 12,000 emergency 911 incidents each year. SARS is a combination department composed of 100 volunteer and 123 career members, delivering service from five stations with 22 vehicles, including twelve advanced life support ambulances.
SARS provides these crucial life saving Emergency Medical and Rescue Services to the over 130,000 residents, in the 55,371 households of the 56.68 square mile area of Abington, Upper Dublin, Upper Moreland and Whitpain Townships as well as the Boroughs of Hatboro, Jenkintown and Rockledge. SARS is also the primary contracted EMS and rescue company for 15 miles of the Pennsylvania Turnpike from the Willow Grove Inter-change.
Unlike local fire and police departments, Second Alarmers does not receive recurring tax funding, our survival is dependant upon service reimbursement, grants and generous donations. Our services include providing EMS and Rescue services through our Paramedic Units, Rescue Truck, Marine Unit, Bicycle Team and Two State Strike Teams. We also provide full personnel leasing and billing services for SARS and multiple EMS organizations.
