After weeks of uncertainty and public outcry, the Tabernacle Rescue Squad will stay in service. Township leaders voted unanimously Monday night to rescind an earlier decision to terminate the squad's agreement — a major victory for residents who've been rallying to save the 73-year-old emergency service.

Applause erupted inside the township meeting room as the committee approved Resolution 2025-120, formally reversing its Aug. 11 termination notice. The measure authorizes Tabernacle Township to enter into an amended agreement with the squad "for continued medical and rescue responder services on terms mutually agreeable to both parties."

The vote followed about 30 minutes of public comment and a 45-minute closed-door session with township leaders and rescue squad members.
