25 years later, we still step up together.

Tonight, prior to the town memorial, members of the Putnam Valley Volunteer Ambulance Corps and Putnam Valley Volunteer Fire Department suited up in full gear to climb Tinker Hill, the steepest road in our town. Every step carried the memory of the brothers and sisters lost on 9/11 and in the years following.

We remember. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

On this somber anniversary, we at the ambulance corps remember all those who were lost 25 years ago and in the years following. Our flag at half-staff is a symbol of our grief and our vow to never forget.
To our fallen brothers and sisters in the emergency services, you are forever in our hearts and minds. We honor your bravery and your service.

To Our Putnam Valley Neighbors,

Imagine …..

Suddenly you’re not feeling well, or maybe you sustained an injury. So you call for an ambulance, and the members of the Putnam Valley Volunteer Ambulance Corps are dispatched to your location. We don’t just bring you to a hospital ….. with their extensive training, our EMTs are able to assess your condition and provide appropriate aid before and during transportation!

Last year we received over 700 such calls for emergency medical assistance. Unfortunately, maintaining such service incurs huge costs. This year, we had to replace an older ambulance at great
expense & will need to repeat that process again soon. We must also replace our standby generator, without which our facility and ambulances cannot operate when our local utility power feed is
interrupted ….. nor can our building serve as emergency shelter for residents during extreme weather conditions. When combined with inflationary increases in a long list of other expenses, these financial
burdens present a tremendous challenge. So we need some help from the community we serve. Even small donations can add up to impactful financial support ….. and your contribution may be tax deductible. Please see what you can do to send us whatever you can afford, by logging on to www.PVVAC.org

Thank you in advance for supporting the Putnam Valley Volunteer Ambulance Corps!

At 10am Putnam Valley Ambulance responded to Lake Peekskill to support Putnam Valley Fire at a house fire. We'll always be there to back up Putnam Valley's Bravest.

Our flag flies at half-staff today as we join the nation in mourning the passing of the iconic Dolly Parton.
While the world knew her as a legend of music and screen, to the healthcare and emergency response community, she was a dedicated champion of health, science, and life-saving research. From funding critical vaccine research at Vanderbilt Medical Center to lifting up communities in times of hardship and disaster, Dolly embodied the very spirit of service, generosity, and compassion that first responders strive to bring to work every day.
Her light, music, and extraordinary heart leave an indelible mark on our country.
Rest in peace, Dolly. We will always love you. 🕊️✨
