The Baldwin Historical Society brings you another trivia question that delves into our area's colorful past. Pat Lombardi and Patty Woehler, co-presidents of the society, generously write the questions and provide the pictures.

Here is this week's question:

Baldwin Borough's emergency medical services were once handled by the local police, who were trained as emergency medical technicians.

The picture seen here on the left is of the police ambulances. In the picture are, from left to right, officers Petrichko and Lombardi, Sgt. Morse (in van), Mayor McPherson, Councilman Bennett and Chief of Police Gaburri.

The second picture is of Baldwin Emergency Medical Services' founding members, from left to right: Ken Guerra, George Bauman, John Bower, Fran Lynch and Jim McKeen. They are pictured with Baldwin EMS' first equipment.

So, do you know which year Baldwin EMS was founded?
A. 1970
B. 1975
C. 1979

Give us your guess in the comments section below. We will reveal the answer on Monday.
