ADAMS COUNTY LAUNCHES 911 TEXTING SERVICE

Text-to-911 is a valuable service allowing the public to send emergency messages via text.

Just like with a voice call, 911 telecommunicators will gather essential details about your emergency, including location and those involved.

While texting allows for communication, it’s important to note that it may take time. Please be patient and provide clear, concise answers. Voice calls remain preferable for quicker response.

Text-to-911 is particularly useful for individuals with speech or hearing impairments, or in situations where making noise may escalate danger, such as home invasions, domestic violence, or abductions.


CHANGE OF SERVICE:

Effective October 1st, ambulance service to the East Berlin Area from Northeast Fire Co (formerly known as Liberty Fire Co.) will now be provided by Community Life Team EMS. For all emergency calls, please dial 911. For non-emergency inquiries, please contact us at 717-236-5947.

Emergency calls will continue to be dispatched from the Northeast Fire Co on Locust Street, East Berlin.

Thank you for your attention to this update.
