The Pittston Township Ambulance Association dedicates this web site to all Men and Women who serve in Emergency Services. Not for who we are – But for what we maybe called upon to do. And especially to those who gave of their lives in the line of duty, assisting persons who they never before met.Â
May these Emergency Service providers never be forgotten.

OUR PRAYER
LORD,
Grant me the wisdom so that I may treat those of your children that lay at my feet. And let my hands be gentle, sure and swift, to impart to them your sacred gift.
Let me see only a patient’s need – not their color, race or creed. Help me always to be my best – even when it’s on my hours rest.
Grant me the insight to understand why patients of mine are going to die, Let me remember that when they do, there is a wonderful life in Heaven with You.
Lord, if in the time of duty I should fall, help my family to hold their heads tall. For it was You who decided that I should be, one of your chosen few, an EMT. And I ask for all here from the past:
Dear God, please let my name be the last.
