The Department of Emergency Services is a family of mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends, and relatives who are dedicated to and will touch the lives of every citizen of this county and far beyond. Be it in good times, or the most disastrous of times of our lives. Not many groups can impact people's lives directly and as often as we do every day. The people of Cambria 9-1-1 are true professionals dedicated to the important job we perform for others.OperationsOur Center, located in the Human Services Building in Ebensburg, PA is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by 7 Telecommunicators and one Shift Supervisor.
