The Ad Hoc meetings scheduled for April 23, 2025, and May 28, 2025, at 6:00 pm, have been CANCELED.
Northampton Regional EMS is excited to announce a free Community safety event located at our Main Station. Our goal is to provide safety through education to the valued members of the community.
Join us on Saturday, May 10th, 2025, from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM at our Main Station located at 1525 Canal St. Northampton, PA 18067. Meet the crews serving the community, ask questions and learn ways to keep you and your loved ones safe.
Free car seat check for children - Instillation of your new car seat or inspection of existing car seats by our certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians. Proper instillation of your child’s car seat can reduce fatal injury by 71% for infants, 54% for toddlers. Be sure to register your car seat with the manufacturer after installation!
Free CarFit for Senior Citizens - CarFit is an educational program developed by AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association that offers older adults the opportunity to check how well their personal vehicles "fit" them. Older drivers are often the safest drivers in that they are more likely to wear their seatbelts, and less likely to speed or drink and drive. However, older drivers are more likely to be killed or seriously injured when a crash does occur due to the greater fragility of their aging bodies. Driver safety programs improve adult driver safety by addressing cognitive abilities and skills, however, older drivers can also improve their safety by ensuring their cars are properly adjusted for them. A proper fit in one’s car can greatly increase not only the driver’s safety but also the safety of others.
In addition to meeting the crews of Northampton Regional EMS, join us in meeting the Northampton Fire & Police Department, State Representative Zach Mako, Bethlehem Health Bureau and more! We look forward to meeting each and every one of you.
While this is a free event, we encourage you to RSVP for a Car Seat Check or Senior CarFit spot using the QR code on the event flyer. See you on Saturday, May 10th, 2025!

Welcome To Lehigh Township
Lehigh Township is located along the western border of Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Lehigh is bordered by the Borough of Walnutport to the west, Moore Township to the east, Lower Towamensing Township to the north and Allen and North Whitehall Townships, to the south.
Lehigh Township was surveyed in 1735 by orders of Thomas Penn. It was proposed that 6,500 acres be set aside for Native Americans, but the land became a settlement of immigrants instead. Before October 1752, when the township was officially created, the area had been called Adjacents to Allen, which probably refers to adjacent Allen Township. Although some residents wanted the name Seimsy after an early Moravian Indian covert named Seim, the county court opted for the name Lehigh Township instead. For more history please visit the Lehigh Township Historical Society.
With a population of over 10,000 today, Lehigh Township is a thriving community for both families and business. Please feel free to browse our website and don't hesitate to contact us for further assistance.
