There is one ambulance club covering both the Borough’s basic life support (BLS) service for non-life-threatening emergencies, and Wellpan’s advanced life support (ALS) service for life-threatening emergencies. Depending on the nature of the emergency, BLS and ALS may respond jointly or independently. For a fee of $100.00 annually, all permanent residents in your household can receive unlimited Emergency BLS and ALS medical services.
