At tonight’s East Fallowfield Township public meeting, Paramedics from Westwood EMS — along with our colleagues at Modena Fire Company Station 37 and the East Fallowfield Township Police Department — were recognized by the Board of Supervisors for two recent incidents in the Township which resulted in clinical life-saving achievements of two local residents who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.

Although there are many difficult and critical incidents that our personnel respond to each and every day, one of these calls in April involved a longtime member of Modena Fire Company. This individual is alive today thanks to the tremendous efforts of the Fire and EMS personnel from Westwood and Modena.

East Fallowfield Township is one of sixteen municipalities in both Chester and Lancaster Counties which is served by Westwood’s Advanced Life Support service. The Township’s EMS tax supports our financial needs to make successful outcomes like these possible.

We are extremely proud of all of our dedicated and talented volunteer members and career staff personnel who change lives on a daily basis.

We want to thank several residents in attendance and the Board of Supervisors for recognizing these life-saving individuals this evening!
