NOW HIRING: ONE FULL-TIME EMT/EMS PROVIDER

The Pittston Township Ambulance Association is growing and seeking one qualified full-time EMT/EMS provider.

Full-time benefits include:
• Comprehensive healthcare through an upper-level BCBS plan, plus dental and vision coverage, with no employee cost or copay. Coverage begins on the first day of the month after employment begins.
• 401(k) eligibility after 90 days of employment.
• Paid holidays and 10 personal days annually, prorated in the first year based on hire date.
• Consistent schedules with two weekends off each month.
• Jury duty and bereavement pay.

We keep both ambulances clean, fully stocked, and in excellent working condition. Each has the same layout, so equipment and supplies are in consistent locations regardless of your assignment. If a vehicle or piece of equipment develops a problem, it is immediately taken out of service and replaced. Both ambulances receive quarterly bumper-to-bumper preventive maintenance.

Our ambulances are equipped with:
• Power cot and power load systems.
• Powered and non-powered stair chairs.
• Mobile data terminals (MDTs) that provide detailed response information from the 911 center.
College students welcome! Looking for part-time hours, extra income, and a professional setting to practice your skills? Contact our agency to gain real-world EMS experience with flexible scheduling and a supportive team. We understand that you have commitments outside work or school. Schedules are posted a full month at a time so you can choose preferred shifts around your personal obligations.

Applicants must hold EMT, EVO, and all other credentials and certifications required to staff a BLS service. At least one year of field experience responding to 911 emergencies is preferred. Applicants with less experience may be considered if they demonstrate a strong commitment and ability to provide patient care during 911 responses.

We seek skilled, courteous providers who are genuinely committed to EMS and a professional, drama-free workplace.

Interested? Complete our online application at www.ptaa-ems.com/jobs.

Thank you!

PR RECOGNITION - The Pittston Township Ambulance is the recipient of two acknowledgments for services provided and community dedication.

First, we received a Chairman's Award from the Burn Prevention Network for our assistance in helping to relocate 70 patients from the Lehigh Valley Dickson City Hospital Campus facility back when they had a fire in February 2026. At the time this happened a large two county EMS and Fire response was initiated to safely triage and remove patients from there to other hospital facilities. The PTAA responded with its on duty crew to assist and our staff transported two patients from their Dickson City facility to their East Stroudsburg Hospital facility. Total time of involvement was near five hours and while this crew was on that assignment, our second truck was staffed and placed into service to respond to any local 911 emergencies.

Second, in a parking lot presentation, the Tractor Supply Store in the Pittston Commons Shopping Center acknowledged the emergency services of Pittston Township with a corporate donation of $250.00. Municipal officials along with the on duty staff of the Police, EMS, EMA and Fire services were on hand for a photo op to receive this donation. We express our collective appreciation to Tractor Supply for their corporate philanthropy.

PR EVENT / HALLOWEEN — The PTAA EMS Halloween Crew was “On the Road Again” and attended another Trunk or Treat today, hosted by the Dupont Crime Watch in the Sacred Heart Church parking lot.

Spooky music played throughout the event as more than 20 creatively decorated trunks offered plenty of treats. From 4 to 6 p.m., a steady stream of ghouls and goblins of all ages joined the fun.

PTAA participated with a decorated truck, our mini ambulance photo prop, and “Aunt Edna” (a.k.a. Resusci Anne) made a cameo appearance displayed on a cot. Both attractions were a big hit!

Staffing the PTAA truck were Treasurer Tina S., President Don H. Sr., and EMS staff member Greg K assisted by Addysin K, Luca K, and Tiffany G.

We hope everyone had a wonderful time. Happy Halloween!

CAPTURING THE MOMENT: After the rain late this afternoon just after 6 PM, our EMS crew captured a very impressive Mother Nature display of low level rays of sunshine lighting up the tree line behind the Bryden Street Park near our EMS HQ. And within 5 minutes, it was gone. Check it out!

There were a few minor station property improvements done at the PTAA recently. As you know, Bryden Street was repaved and there was installed a new asphalt curb, which created a big empty area behind it that simply did not look right and could even have been a trip hazard. We decided it needed to be filled in, got two tons of topsoil donated, delivered. The EMS staff moved, leveled the soil, and planted grass along the newly created asphalt curb and it is GROWING. It does look much better and safer!

And our street EMS sign wood post structure and landscaping timbers were getting pretty weathered and worn looking, so they received some TLC with a fresh coat of paint. Curb appeal is important!

Doing these projects were our staff EMS providers Denise G; Nathacha M, & Don H Sr. Yes, we keep busy. When we are not doing 911 calls, we are looking around for things to do and improve!
