What Resources Does Lincoln Park EMS Have? Vehicles, Members, and Officers
Updated
Lincoln Park EMS (LPEMS, also known as Lincoln Park First Aid Squad) lists four state-of-the-art vehicles, 44 volunteer members, and a full slate of named officers. The organization reports 655 calls and 25,000 volunteer hours in 2025, with 14 training events per year. Details on the fleet and facilities live on its "Our Fleet" and "Our Facilities" pages, while officer names and roles are published on its "Our Officers" section.
Vehicles and Facilities
LPEMS states it operates 4 state-of-the-art vehicles equipped to serve. The site does not publish vehicle types, model years, or medical equipment inventories; those specifics would appear on the "Our Fleet" page. Similarly, facility details are grouped under "Our Facilities" rather than summarized on the homepage.
What the organization does commit to publicly:
- To members: "the most up-to-date equipment and thorough educational and training opportunities"
- To the community: remaining "a proactive and progressive force for the betterment of emergency medical service to our community and our mutual aid towns"
That second point matters for resource planning — LPEMS provides service not only to Lincoln Park but also to mutual aid towns, meaning its four vehicles and volunteer roster may be dispatched outside the borough under mutual aid agreements.
Members and Training
| Metric | Figure |
|---|---|
| Volunteer members | 44 |
| Calls in 2025 | 655 |
| Volunteer hours in 2025 | 25,000 |
| Training events per year | 14 |
The organization describes itself as 100% volunteers, and states that patients "never see a bill from LPFAS" when the squad answers calls. Members are described as neighbors, colleagues, and family members of the community.
The 14 training events per year figure is the site's own count; it does not specify hours per event, certification levels, or whether continuing education beyond those events is required.
Officers
LPEMS publishes its officer roster with names and titles:
| Name | Role |
|---|---|
| Bethann Anderson | Chief |
| Jason Meisch | Deputy Chief |
| Katherine Bain | Captain & Recording Secretary |
| Sarah Siroka | Lieutenant |
| Stacie Scavone | President |
| Alex Neuhaus | Vice President |
| Emily Rasa | Corresponding Secretary |
| Gary Anderson | Treasurer |
| Cassandra Panicci | Trustee |
This structure separates operational leadership (Chief, Deputy Chief, Captain, Lieutenant) from organizational governance (President, Vice President, secretaries, Treasurer, Trustee) — useful to know if you need to route a question to the right person.
History and Scale
LPEMS was incorporated on May 27, 1965 as Lincoln Park First Aid Squad, Inc., and states it has provided free emergency medical services for more than 60 years. The current 44-member roster and 655 annual calls give a sense of scale: roughly 15 calls per member per year on average, though actual call volume per volunteer varies by availability and certification.
