While my hubby and I were out at the mall today, someone happened to leave this note in my possession, while there. Once I read it, it got even me concerned about where the township is putting the $$$ we give it. Read this information below, and see for yourself how bad this truly is.
At our morning get together we were discussing the cost of our Emergency Medical Service. We learned that Bristol Township pays less than half of what we pay and has FOUR ...ALS ambulances available to serve their township! We pay more than twice that amount and get TWO ALS ambulances! A check with surrounding municipalities in addition to Bristol Township shows that once again we have the most expensive EMS service!

Once again we have to ask, where is all the money going?
Meanwhile the volunteer fire companies are constantly threatened by the township with loss of revenue. Now we here they intend to expand the "combination" fire department without the input of the fire service. Amazing, considering how they continue to violate local and federal laws and NOTHNG is done about it.
To quote the Church Lady, “Now isn’t that special!” I also find it interesting, how they have the nerve to call 222 a ‘Combination (Paid and Volunteer) Fire Department’, when it’s no such thing! Now before all of you trolls and kool-aid drinking nay-sayers go off, these individuals did some rather thorough research, and always do. If you want to check this out, DO SO! If I were all of you, I’d be asking myself why we are the ONLY municipality in PA that gets host fees form a casino, and also has an EIT. If I were all of you, I’d be asking………
WHERE’S THE $$$ YOUR MAJESTY!!!

Ma'am. You're sadly mistaken. You need to get your facts checked. Levittown fairless hills has 2 ALS units. One from each of their stations. They cover maybe 75- 80% of Bristol township, Tullytown and falls. The ambulance in Bristol borough covers the rest of Bristol township. There isnt 4 dedicated units for Bristol township. Not even on a good day. Bensalem has 2 dedicated units 24/7 for their township. I see them in bristol borough a lot covering that area because of the increased call volume. What you should be concerned with is how come municipalities don't fund EMS like they do fire and police? As far as I know Bensalem at least has a clue. The other named agencies (and others around the philly area) have been seen begging for money from businesses because the municipalities treat them like second class workers. One of these days a township supervisor or family member is going to need an ambulance and because of the strain that's put on EMS, it will take longer than normal for them to get help. Then something will get done. Try to concern yourself with the real issues at hand not some BS propaganda
