Why Winter Means Faster EMS Response Times For Bridgeville

For many people, winter driving means slow, tedious treks on icy roads. But for SouthBridge EMS, this winter has actually brought faster call response times.

The reason: construction season is finally over.

During December and January, it took the ambulance service an average of 7 minutes to arrive to at “lights and sirens” emergency calls, SouthBridge operations manager Dan Miller told Bridgeville Borough Council earlier this month. That’s 16% faster than the 2015 average of 8.37 minutes:

The change is largely attributable reopening of lanes along Route 50, Miller said. SouthBridge is located on Hickory Grade Road in South Fayette Township.

Last year, SouthBridge arrived at non-lights-and-sirens calls in an average of 10.76 minutes.

The ambulance service also promoted an additional supervisor in 2015 so that it now has 24/7 managerial coverage.
