Paoli Fire Copmany Opens EMS Substation At Senior Living Community

PAOLI, PA — The Paoli Fire Company has opened its first-ever EMS substation.

The new substation, Station 103, is located at Echo Lake Senior Living Community in the Malvern area of Tredyffrin Township.

Station 103 will operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, out of the Wellness Center at Echo Lake.

The fire company said the paramedic unit will let its members provide quicker and more efficient care for Echo Lake residents.

The paramedic at the new substation will respond to emergencies in the northern portion of the Paoli Fire Company’s response district and surrounding municipalities in an SUV to expedite care.

According to the fire company, response times to Echolake and the northern part of Tredyffrin Township were below the recommended standards. This led the company to find a solution for the discrepancy.

"We were also informed of significant road construction on Rt. 29 at S. Atwater Dr. In collaboration with our longstanding private partnerships, we were offered space at Echo Lake Senior Living Community to house a Paramedic and a Paramedic response vehicle, which will help decrease response times," the fire company said.
