Message from Deputy Chief Brian McCaffrey
Passing of William E. Plunkett (1946-2025)

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Retired Chief of the Department and current Financial Officer to the Board of Directors, William E. Plunkett. Bill joined Baldwin E.M.S. in 1979 and was an influential leader throughout the region. With over 45 years of dedicated service to Baldwin E.M.S. Bill’s dedication and influence will live on in the lives he touched and the careers he mentored. We will carry on doing whatever it takes and treating everyone like family, just like you taught us. Rest easy Chief, we have the watch from here.

Funeral arrangements are still being made and will be forwarded on when available. I ask that you keep Bill’s family in your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Please direct questions regarding funeral arrangments to [email protected]

Thank you.

Brian J. McCaffrey, Deputy Chief

Working a cooperative effort… The Ohio Twp Police are hosting a device charging station and grilling food for those without power.

Stop by the lot on Center Ave by The Center Ave Bridge. There will be charging stations and burgers/hotdogs available for those without power.

Starting at noon… and assisting us will be Emsworth VFC, Northwest EMS, and The Pittsburgh DJ Truck. We don’t know what time it will end, but we are trying to give back where we can.

Unfortunately, we don’t know any more on updates to power restoration. However, if you reside in the area, need to charge a device, some food, or simply need to get out, please swing by.

Northwest EMS would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

A special thank you, as always, to our providers + our friends in public safety, medicine, military and other essential roles for working during this holiday! We appreciate you all!
