Smithsburg Emergency Medical Services, Inc. (SEMS) is a third service, not-for-profit 501(c) (3) provider of emergency medical services for approximately 10,000 residents in rural Washington County, Maryland. Smithsburg is situated at the western base of South Mountain and approximately 10 miles from the Mason Dixon line separating Maryland and Pennsylvania. Due to our unique geographic location, we provide direct mutual aid to Frederick County, Maryland; Franklin County, Pennsylvania; and the eastern suburbs of Hagerstown, Maryland. Our primary response area covers approximately 70 square miles and includes the communities of Smithsburg, Leitersburg, Mt. Aetna, Cascade, Pen Mar, Fort Ritchie, Ringgold, Cavetown, and Wolfsville. In addition to the varying geographical terrain, our response area is different from other companies due to farms, railroads, industrial businesses, manufacturing companies, housing developments, and even a recreational hang gliding spot. We also serve a sizeable portion of the Washington County section of the Appalachian Trail.
