New Paltz Rescue Squad

Our thoughts are with Joe’s family. He was an amazing educator and human being that shaped many of our careers in EMS. Because of his guidance and inspiration, we are all better providers and people.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of former Ulster County Ambulance Association President and Past Captain of Wallkill Volunteer Ambulance Corp Joseph Poptanich Jr. Joe was an instrumental part in training many of the counties EMT’s. Joe taught countless EMT classes and taught some of the counties’ best providers who they are today.

Family and Friends are asked to gather on Thursday January 15th at 7pm at the Harris Funeral Home in Roscoe, NY to pay their last respects.

Joe you will be missed, and your service to the county will not be forgotten. 🙏🏻

We are busy responding to emergency calls. Please remember that the roads are very slippery and take us a while to get anywhere but we are doing our best. Safety for our patients and our staff is a priority, please be patient. Due to being under a State of Emergency, please stay home if you can and avoid driving on the roads. Be safe everyone. ❄️☃️
