Cranberry Township Emergency Medical Service, which was formed as the Ambulance Corps of the Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company in the early 1960s, is now an independent agency with a full-time paid staff of 15, as well as 23 part-time personnel, and seven entry-level volunteers. But the organization has close ties to the Township, from which rents a newly constructed base station adjacent to Cranberry’s Park Fire Station and receives a fuel subsidy. At its February 5 meeting, Cranberry’s Board of Supervisors was given a review of EMS operations in 2014 by the agency’s Board President, Don Scelza. In addition to responding to 3,540 calls from Butler 9-1-1, Cranberry EMS had extensive involvement in community events, in CPR training, in child safety seat inspection, and in training with Township police and firefighters.
