 <![CDATA[Horton Emergency Vehicles in Grove City, Ohio in cooperation with VCI Emergency Vehicles in Berlin, NJ, delivered the first&nbsp;of five Basic Life Support ambulances. &nbsp;These ambulances were purchased through funds made available through a bond referendum passed in 2011. The ambulances will replace the aging fleet which have run somewhere in the neighborhood of 40,000 calls for service and have each seen around 75,000 miles over their lifespan. When asked about the replacement and what it means for EFD's services, Chief Lowden said "We would like to thank our residents for their support in this acquisition and providing their responders with the best and safest equipment available on the market today. We set the bar high when it comes to specifying apparatus that not only meets our operational needs but also ensures the highest safety standard is being applied to protect our members and the residents of Evesham Township." &nbsp;Crews are training on the new apparatus and it is expected to be in service in the coming wee...]]>

 	<title>EVESHAM FIRE-RESCUE MEMBER ASSISTS AT BOSTON BOMBING SCENE</title>
  	<category>News</category>
 <link>http://www2.eveshamfire.org/news/fullstory/newsid/185715</link>
 <description>
  
 <![CDATA[Evesham Fire Department is proud to report the
heroic actions of EMT Rebecca âBeckiâ Miller from Station 227. Becki is
completing two Bachelor degrees at Northeastern University in Boston. Her
studies in Behavioral Neuroscience and Philosophy will conclude with a
graduation in May of this year. She is a member of the Northeastern Student
Alumni Association. This group traditionally helps create and contribute to the
goals of Northeastern by developing strong volunteer leaders, exposing alumni to exceptional students, and
sharing the benefits of alumni involvement. On Monday, April 15, 2013 Becki and
her Student Alumni Association were on hand to assist runners as they completed
the Boston Marathon. She was handing out warming blankets and directing
runners. Becki was positioned less than 2 blocks from the first explosion and
immediately following the blast she ran toward the scene to assist.Working side by side with Boston EMS, Boston PD, and
many bystanders and runners Beckiâs EMT training kicked in and she assisted a
woman from the scene to a waiting ambulance (see photo below). Responders were
so focused on treatment of patients that when the second explosion occurred,
even Becki had not noticed. &nbsp;Upon
returning to the scene she began assisting in rapid patient assessment, triage,
and assisted several more patients from the area to awaiting medical personnel.
She and several other medical providers worked their way through the injured
and assisted an unknown number of additional patients.

As the chaotic scene became more controlled she and
her group were progressively moved away from the scene as police began to sweep
the area and gain further control. At one point she was asked to stand-by
incase of secondary incidents. Again the PD moved them further back. At this
time Becki took note of the dozens of addition BLS units and medical personnel.
The scene had stabilized and she was subsequently released.

Evesham Fire Department is extremely proud of the
efforts of Rebecca Miller of Station 227. Her actions exemplify Fire and
Emergency Medical Services professionalism, training, and dedication to those
traditions of helping those in times of crisis. Next time you see Becki be sure
to pat her on the back for a job well done, both in her studies and her
dedication to service above self!...]]>
