The Levittown-Fairless Hills Rescue Squad

What The Levittown-Fairless Hills Rescue Squad does

The Levittown-Fairless Hills Rescue Squad, Inc. (LFHRS) is a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in 1955 that provides 9-1-1 emergency medical services in Lower Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The organization operates as a designated EMS provider for an exclusive coverage area encompassing half of Bristol Township, the majority of Falls Township, Tullytown, and small portions of Middletown and Lower Makefield Townships. LFHRS delivers Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance response 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from two stations: the Main Station (Squad 154) at 7405 New Falls Road in Levittown and the Falls Township Station (Squad 155) at 48 Makefield Road in Morrisville. The fleet includes Medic 154-3 (2004 International/Horton) and Medic 155-4 (2007 Ford E-350/Horton), each equipped with full ALS-level medical equipment including heart monitors, IV supplies, medications, and airway management tools. Staffing consists of a combination of over 55 career and volunteer members with EMT, AEMT, paramedic, PHRN, and Prehospital Physician certifications, supplemented by a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Program led by the Squad medical director.

LFHRS generates revenue through three primary streams: an annual Subscription Membership Program (with tiers ranging from $25 for one senior to $90 for a household, plus a $10 Ambulance Replacement add-on) that helps subscribers avoid out-of-pocket ambulance costs not covered by insurance; direct billing to insurance companies for ambulance services rendered (with subscribers accepted as payment in full); and tax-deductible charitable donations, including a dedicated Ambulance Replacement Campaign to fund fleet renewal. Subscription memberships run January 1 through December 31 and are actively marketed through annual drives, social media, and community events such as the EMS Week Open House.

Beyond core ambulance services, LFHRS operates supplementary programs including community education and CPR/first aid training for local police, fire departments, and community groups; the File of Life program providing medical information cards for EMS personnel reference; and strategic partnerships with three regional hospitals (Jefferson Bucks Hospital, Lower Bucks Hospital, and Saint Mary Medical Center) for patient transport and continued care. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors with no parent company, external ownership, or venture capital backing, and is sustained entirely through community-derived revenue streams within its single-county service area.
