Lake Harmony Rescue Squad Report

LHRS EMTs and its Board of Directors thanks the residents and Kidder supervisors for their continued support. LHRS BLS is the most advanced provider for our level of service…and we will continue to grow.

The LHRS went out on 34 calls in December. 28 of those calls were in Lake Harmony, 2 in Penn Forest, 2 into Monroe County, and 2 into the White Haven area. The LHRS also turned out for 15 fire calls. The units were on the road 2,095 miles for the month.

The new ambulance is lettered, and now has some final work to be done. It should arrive by month’s end, or in early February.

Through 2022, the two LHRS ambulances were dispatched 790 times, of that 477 were medical. It was a busy year, just shy of the busiest 2021. The two ambulances traveled over 29,200 miles, with the oldest 1760, showing 100,831 miles on its odometer on December 31, and 1761 at 66,466 miles.
