Amity Township, Birdsboro Borough and Union Township have elected to have Western Berks Ambulance Association provide 24/7 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) at both the Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) levels to their residents starting on January 6, 2021.

Western Berks Ambulance Association will have two stations to service the newly added municipalities.
