About Us

Who We Are. What We Do

For more than 80 years, the Chester First Aid Squad has provided free, volunteer-based emergency medical services to Chester Township, Chester Borough, and surrounding communities.

Our volunteers are trained as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs) and Drivers.

We cover a 31-square mile jurisdiction serving over 9,400 Chester residents, plus surrounding communities if called. 

Our mission is simple: to provide skilled, compassionate care to our community when it’s needed most.
