The Fivepointville Ambulance is a non profit volunteer based ambulance service that is located in Brecknock Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

The Fivepointville Ambulance is a non profit volunteer based service that is located in Brecknock Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. We average about 800 calls a year with three ambulances and cover all of Brecknock Township, Terre Hill Borough and parts of East Earl Township, Ephrata Township, Earl Township, Caernarvon Township, Adamstown Borough and parts of Berks county on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. In 1960 a group of Community members came together and bought an old hearse that was fixed up and used to transport patients to the hospital. Our Charter Members were Leonard Weinhold, Melvin W. Weinhold, Paul H. Weinhold, Warren E. Martzell, Leroy H. Kochel, and Rufus Habecker, and Martin G. Weaver assisted them with the purchase of the first vehicle. The charter members ran the ambulance from the garage of one of the members. Since they were also part of the Fire Company we were then housed in the same building. In 1966 Fivepointville Ambulance became incorporated as the Fivepointville Ambulance Service. In 1997 the ambulance service moved across the street to our current location. We are a non-profit organization with dedicated volunteers that are committed to serving our residence and visitors to our community. The call sign for Fivepointville Ambulance was known as Ambulance 3-14. In April 2007 we changed our call sign to Ambulance 3-19. In 2007 we placed a second ambulance in service to try to keep up with the increasing call volume and our growing community. On July 8th 2007 Ambulance 3-19-2 ran it's first call. On December 31, 2013 we changed our call sign from 3-19 to 36. This change was due to a new paging and radio project underway by Lancaster County. We currently have about 45 volunteer and 1 part time paid EMT.

In the spirit of EMS week and recognizing outstanding providers, today we celebrate our very own Paramedic Joseph Martin.

Joseph recently graduated from the Physician Assistant Program at the Penn State College of Medicine. We are incredibly proud of his dedication, hard work, and commitment to advancing his career, and we look forward to seeing all he accomplishes in this next chapter.

Joseph began his career with our organization as an EMT in 2010. He later graduated from the Reading Hospital School of Health Sciences Paramedic Program in 2016 and has continued serving with us as well as the adjacent TowerDirect EMS while pursuing his education. Throughout his time with FAA, Joseph has served in numerous roles, including Assistant EMS Chief and overseeing our IT equipment.

Congratulations, Joseph, and best wishes as you move forward in your career.
