Success — hopefully — breeds success.

A multi-municipal commission of five municipalities in the southeast part of the county came together to work to solve EMS issues in their jurisdiction, resulting in an agreement with the City of Warren to provide coverage during the day.

And it appears other municipalities are interested.

Clarendon Borough Councilman Paul Pascuzzi told the Council of Governments on Wednesday that there was a meeting with members of Garland, Tidioute and Grand Valley.

“The discussion centered around staffing and funding,” Pascuzzi said. “It’s likely that we’re going to have to have another meeting in that region and more.”

Other county-wide efforts to improve the EMS system continue, working with a regional plan administrator as well as a state-provided consultant.

Public Safety Director Ken McCorrison said the county has been providing the administrator — hired jointly by Erie, Crawford and Warren Counties — with call volume data.

“We’re going to start analyzing that data,” he said, and “start talking moving forward.”

Another consultant has been assigned to the county to work for the development of a study of the EMS system.

McCorrison said the consultant has been given the same data and will be coming to meet with agencies in the country to “understand what the face of EMS looks like in Warren County.”

There was also discussion about potentially engaging with the Tionesta Ambulance Service.

McCorrison explained that Tionesta is the only ambulance in Forest County — Warren County dispatches that portion of Forest County — and said they are having “significant manpower problems and go out of service for more than a day at a time.”

“It might be the right time to reapproach them,” he suggested.
