It’s Harford Fair week! As our community comes together to enjoy the animals, exhibits, food, and local traditions, the Montrose Minute Men are proud to help keep our neighbors safe.

A quick reminder for families attending the fair: keep an eye on children in busy areas, stay aware of your surroundings, and be respectful to the livestock. If you have a medical need or emergency, ask a nearby staff member or call 911.

1. Stay Together
Keep children close and choose a meeting spot in case someone gets separated.

2. Give Livestock Space
Admire the animals from a safe distance and follow all posted instructions.

3. Stay Hydrated and Ask for Help
Drink plenty of water, take breaks, and tell a fair staff member if you need assistance.

What is your favorite part of the county fair? Share your favorite fair memory in the comments!

With the leaking head gasket on Unit 4, the blown transmission in Unit 2 and the untimely motor vehicle accident that totaled Unit 3, this year has been the year of unplanned downtime.

Luckily we have an excellent team of professionals that have worked together to get where we are:
MEDIX Specialty Vehicles, Molenko, Inc., DANZ Automotive Service and Repair, EMS of Northeastern Pennsylvania EMS Region and employees of the Montrose Minute Men.

After passing their PA EMS Licensure inspections today, we are proud to announce two new Ambulances - Unit 3- a 2026 Ford Transit and Unit 4 - a 2027 E450 Mod, which are now in service for our organization!

These ambulances are licensed to the ALS level and are ready to respond to all your emergent ailments!

A special thanks goes out to our friends at Greater Valley EMS in Sayre, for allowing us the use of a truck for the last 7 months, it is much appreciated!

Unit 2 is slated for a full transmission replacement in the next week, which will bring the fleet to 4 strong, be on the lookout for the new trucks as they navigate the surrounding areas!

Have a great week!
