Middletown Township recently recognized public safety professionals for life-saving efforts last year.
In November 2025, members of Middletown Township Fire & Emergency Services were operating at a shed fire in the Borough of Penndel when the Penndel-Middletown Emergency Squad was dispatched for a reported unconscious patient at Advance Auto Parts.
Special Service 244, operated by Firefighter/EMT Riley Collins, responded alongside Officer Hillary Kloiber of the Penndel Borough Police Department to assist the medic unit.
Officer Kloiber arrived first, with firefighter Collins arriving moments later, and located a male patient in cardiac arrest. CPR was immediately initiated, and additional resources were requested. Shortly thereafter, Medic 168, Special Service 8, and officers from the Langhorne Borough Police Department arrived on scene.

Fire, EMS, and Police personnel worked seamlessly and simultaneously, providing high-quality patient care through transport to St. Mary Medical Center.
Due to the rapid response, coordinated teamwork, and effective life-saving interventions by all involved, the patient made a full recovery and has since returned to normal life.
This incident highlights the importance of interagency cooperation and the dedication of our public safety professionals who serve our community every day.
Officials thanked Chief Perry of the Penndel Borough Police Department for organizing “the well-deserved recognition ceremony.”
