Welcome to the home of the Second Alarmer's Association and Rescue Squad of Montgomery County. Established in 1938 as a Canteen Service, SARS has evolved into one of the busiest EMS/Rescue Agencies in the Delaware Valley. We handle over 10,000 emergencies each year in the Townships of Abington, Upper Dublin, Upper Moreland, Whitpain and the boroughs of Hatboro, Jenkintown and Rockledge as well as surrounding communities. As part of the Montgomery County EMS Strike Team, SARS has committed to be available anywhere we are called for a disaster with just a few hours notice. Our deployment in 2008 to Louisiana in the wake of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike recalls SARS members responding to Jackson, Mississippi in the aftermath of Hurricane Camille in 1969. Carrying on our tradition, Second Alarmer's Association and Rescue Squad answered the call. Want to provide outstanding care to members of the communities we serve? Tour our website to learn how you can provide direct care or financial support to keep our operations the best they can be.
