The facility could be open by late November
Construction is well under way for a new public safety building that will house training and classroom facilities for Cranberry’s firefighters, police officers and EMS workers. The brick facility—which will be located near the township’s public works building off Route 19 —will have two garage bays for fire engines and a training room that can seat about 125. The room also can be divided into two classrooms that seat 40 people each. The building also will feature an emergency generator as well as smart boards and projection screens for the classrooms. Located just a few feet from the Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company’s four-story rescue practice tower, the new facility will give firefighters an opportunity to hold learning …

A letter was sent to residents and businesses earlier this week.
Cranberry Township Emergency Medical Service’s mission is to provide high-quality emergency and non-emergency patient care and transportation while remaining an active participant in the community. Now, the service is asking for the public’s support to continue that mission. Earlier this week, Cranberry EMS sent a letter to all residents and businesses in the township asking for support for its 2012 capital campaign. “To completely meet our mission and continue our emergency services, we rely on the generosity of individuals and businesses for assistance,” the letter reads. “Without the financial support of residents and business leaders, your EMS service may be unable to provide the most up-to-date, life-sustaining care an individual …

The vehicle features new Cranberry logo.
After months of research to find the right vehicle, Cranberry Emergency Medical Services has added a new ambulance to its fleet. Salesman Bill Lacey of Pfund Superior Services delivered the 2009 Wheeled Coach to the ambulance company Wednesday morning. The truck is the fourth ambulance in the fleet and will allow the company to pull an older ambulance from the road. That 13-year-old ambulance, which has more than 200,000 miles, still will be used but not as often, said Cranberry EMS director Jeff Kelly. “This is an addition,” he said. “We’re not replacing anything right now.” The new ambulance will lessen vehicle maintenance costs for the company, Kelly said. With another vehicle in rotation, Cranberry EMS also won’t have to worry about …

I wonder if I can get Cranberry taxpayers to build me a building and then pay me to be a monopoly service provider. They can pretend to charge me rent, but actually pay my rent for me with $$$ they also are taxed to pay me each month. That sounds like a pretty sweet deal! You're bragging it's "a first rate building", so I'm sure everyone who is not paying for it is pretty excited! more ›
