Emergency Services Guide for Berks County

It's 2 AM. Your basement is flooding. Your kid has a fever of 104. Your car died on Route 422. Your dog just ate something he shouldn't have.

In moments like these, you don't need a website to research—you need answers now. That's what this guide is for.

We've organized every emergency resource in Berks County by situation, with real phone numbers, honest advice about costs, and the hard-won wisdom of people who've been through these moments. Bookmark this page. Screenshot the phone numbers. You'll thank yourself later.

Here's the uncomfortable truth about emergencies in Berks County: if you live in Kutztown, Fleetwood, or rural areas, help takes longer to arrive than if you're in Wyomissing. A plumber might be 15 minutes away from West Reading but 45 minutes from Oley. Knowing this—and having a plan—matters.

The Numbers That Matter Most

Before we dive into specific situations, save these in your phone right now. Not later. Now.

Life-Threatening Emergencies

911 — Police, Fire, Ambulance. For anything that threatens life.

This sounds obvious, but people hesitate. They don't want to "overreact." Here's permission: if you think someone might be dying, call. The dispatchers are trained to help you figure out what's happening. You won't get in trouble for calling. You might save a life.

Crisis and Poison Lines

• Poison Control Center: 1-800-222-1222 — Free, confidential, 24/7. These people are calm, knowledgeable, and have seen everything. If your kid ate something, your pet got into something, or you're not sure if something is dangerous—call before you panic.

• 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline): Call or text. If you or someone you love is struggling, this line connects you to trained counselors immediately. It's not just for "imminent crisis"—it's for anyone who needs support.

• Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741. For those who can't or don't want to talk.

• Berks County Crisis Intervention: 610-374-4963 — Local crisis support. These are people who know Berks County resources specifically.

Utility Emergencies

• Met-Ed (Power Outage): 1-888-544-4877 (1-888-LIGHTSS) — You can also text OUT to 544487
• UGI (Gas Emergency): 1-800-276-2722 — If you smell gas, get everyone out of the house first, then call from outside or a neighbor's house. Do not turn on lights, use your phone inside, or create any spark.
• Pennsylvania American Water: 1-800-565-7292

Community Help

211 (PA 211 East): Dial 211 or text your zip code to 898211. This is the number people forget exists. It connects you to non-emergency help: housing assistance, food banks, utility bill help, mental health services, prescription assistance. Available 24/7.

Medical Emergencies: Choosing the Right Hospital

Berks County has two major hospital systems, and knowing which one to go to could save critical minutes—or your life.

Reading Hospital - Tower Health

Address: 420 South 5th Avenue, West Reading, PA 19611
Phone: (484) 628-8000

This is the Level I Trauma Center for the region—the highest designation possible. If you've been in a serious car accident, have a gunshot wound, fell from a significant height, or have any major traumatic injury, this is where you need to be.

But it's not just trauma. Reading Hospital is also a:

• Comprehensive Stroke Center — They can perform clot retrieval procedures that save lives and prevent permanent brain damage
• STEMI Receiving Center — Specialized heart attack treatment with 24/7 cardiac catheterization (the "door-to-balloon" time that cardiologists talk about)
• Level III NICU — The region's only Level III neonatal ICU for premature and critically ill newborns
• Regional Burn Center

Reading Hospital consistently ranks among the top 1% of hospitals nationally (Healthgrades), and Newsweek named it one of the World's Best Hospitals. This isn't marketing—it matters when you're deciding where to go.

The trade-off: Because it's a major trauma center, the ER can be very busy. For non-life-threatening issues, you might wait hours.

Penn State Health St. Joseph Medical Center

Address: 2500 Bernville Road, Reading, PA 19605
Phone: 610-378-2000

St. Joseph is a full-service hospital with board-certified emergency physicians. It's part of the Penn State Health system, which means complex cases can be transferred to Hershey Medical Center if needed.

Why you might choose St. Joseph:

• Generally shorter wait times for non-trauma emergencies
• SANE program (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners) — specially trained nurses for sexual assault cases
• Free surface lot parking near the main entrance (Reading Hospital's parking situation is... challenging)
• If Reading Hospital is overwhelmed after a major incident or during flu season, St. Joseph is your backup

Best for: Medical emergencies that don't involve major trauma—serious infections, severe abdominal pain, high fevers, appendicitis symptoms, and similar situations where you need emergency care but don't have life-threatening injuries.

The Real Decision: When Do You Need an ER?

Here's the honest truth: emergency rooms are expensive, crowded, and designed for true emergencies. Using them for non-emergencies wastes your time and money. But under-reacting to a real emergency can kill you.

Call 911 or go to the ER immediately for:

• Chest pain or pressure — Especially with shortness of breath, sweating, pain radiating to your arm or jaw. Don't "wait and see" with chest pain. Heart attacks are not always dramatic; they can feel like indigestion.
• Stroke symptoms — Face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty. Remember FAST: Face, Arms, Speech, Time. Every minute matters for stroke.
• Difficulty breathing — Not just "I'm winded," but real trouble getting air
• Severe bleeding that won't stop with firm pressure
• Loss of consciousness or confusion
• Severe allergic reaction with throat swelling or breathing problems (use your EpiPen if you have one, then still go to the ER)
• Seizures lasting more than 5 minutes, or multiple seizures, or first-time seizure
• Head injury with confusion, vomiting, or loss of consciousness
• High fever with confusion, stiff neck, or rash (could be meningitis)
• Severe abdominal pain — The "something is very wrong" kind
• Suicidal thoughts with a plan or intent

When in doubt, call 911 and let them decide. Seriously. That's what they're trained for.

Urgent Care: The In-Between Option

For everything that's urgent but not emergency, urgent care is faster, cheaper, and often better equipped for minor issues than an ER. You can be in and out in an hour instead of waiting 4-6 hours.

Tower Health operates urgent care locations throughout Berks County:

• Exeter — Serving Birdsboro, Exeter Township, eastern Berks
• Muhlenberg — Northern Reading area
• Sinking Spring — Western Berks
• Wyomissing — Central Berks, West Reading

Typical hours: 8 AM - 8 PM daily (call to confirm)

Urgent care is great for:

• Cuts that might need stitches (but not spurting blood)
• Sprains and minor fractures
• Flu, strep throat, ear infections, UTIs
• Minor burns and rashes
• Pink eye and minor eye issues
• Work injuries and sports physicals

Urgent care tips:

• Call ahead to check wait times
• Arrive at least 30-60 minutes before closing—they stop taking patients before posted hours
• Bring your insurance card, ID, and know your pharmacy

Plumbing Emergencies: When Water Won't Wait

A burst pipe can cause $10,000+ in damage in under an hour. Sewage backup is a health hazard. These situations don't wait for morning.

What Makes It a True Plumbing Emergency?

Call a plumber NOW for:

• Burst pipes actively flooding your home
• Complete loss of water to the entire house
• Sewage backing up into your home
• Water heater failure flooding your basement
• Frozen pipes at risk of bursting (you can hear them "creaking")
• Any leak you cannot stop

Evacuate and call UGI (1-800-276-2722) for:

• Gas smell from any appliance or pipe. This is not a plumber situation first—it's a safety situation. Get out, then call.

The First 5 Minutes Matter

When a pipe bursts, what you do in the first five minutes determines whether you're looking at a minor repair or a major renovation.

Step 1: Shut off the water.

Your main shutoff valve is usually in the basement, on the wall facing the street, near where the water line enters your house. It's either a wheel (turn clockwise) or a lever (turn perpendicular to the pipe).

Do you know where yours is right now? If not, stop reading and go find it. Label it. Tell everyone in your household where it is.

Many Berks County homes are older—built in the 1920s through 1960s—and the main shutoff might be stiff, corroded, or in an unexpected location. Some houses have shutoffs in the front yard near the curb. Find yours before you need it.

Step 2: If water is near anything electrical, shut off power to that area.

Go to your breaker box and turn off circuits in the affected area. Never touch electrical equipment while standing in water.

Step 3: Call an emergency plumber.

Explain clearly: what happened, how much water, and what you've done so far. Ask for estimated arrival time and get a ballpark cost over the phone.

Step 4: Minimize damage while waiting.

Open faucets to drain remaining water from pipes. Use towels, mops, or a wet-dry vacuum to remove standing water. Move furniture and valuables away from the water. Take photos and videos of everything—you'll need them for insurance.

What Emergency Plumbers Actually Cost

Let's be honest about this: emergency plumbing is expensive. You're paying for someone to interrupt their life at 3 AM and drive to your house.

Service	Typical Cost
Emergency service call fee	$150-300
After-hours/weekend premium	1.5x - 2x normal rates
Response time	30-90 minutes

A reputable plumber will give you a clear estimate before starting work, even in an emergency. If someone refuses to estimate or is vague about costs, that's a red flag.

Preventing Plumbing Emergencies

• Know your shutoffs — Main water, water heater, outdoor faucets (interior shutoffs)
• Insulate pipes in unheated areas — Basements, crawl spaces, garages. Berks County winters freeze pipes every year. (See our Winter Services Guide)
• Address small leaks before they become catastrophes
• Never pour grease down drains — It solidifies and causes clogs
• Get your water heater serviced annually — They fail eventually, but maintenance extends their life

Electrical Emergencies: When to Call 911 vs. an Electrician

Electrical problems can kill you. This isn't an exaggeration. Knowing when to call 911 versus an electrician—and what not to touch—matters.

Call 911 First

• Sparks or active fire from any electrical source
• Someone has been electrocuted (do NOT touch them if they're still in contact with the source)
• Burning smell with visible smoke from walls, outlets, or electrical panel
• Power lines down on your property or vehicle
• Electrical equipment submerged in flood water

If power lines are down: Assume they're live. Stay at least 35 feet away. If lines are on your car, stay inside the vehicle unless it's on fire—the car's tires insulate you. If you must exit, jump clear without touching the car and ground simultaneously.

Call an Emergency Electrician

• Complete power loss when neighbors still have power
• Circuit breakers that trip repeatedly and won't reset
• Outlets or switches that are hot to the touch
• Buzzing, crackling, or humming from your electrical panel
• Burning smell from outlets (no visible fire or smoke)
• Sparking outlets (after you've confirmed no active fire)
• Lights flickering throughout the house

If someone is being electrocuted:

1. Do NOT touch them directly
2. Turn off the power source if you can safely reach it
3. If you can't turn off power, use something dry and non-conductive (wooden broom handle, rubber mat) to push them away from the source
4. Call 911 immediately
5. Begin CPR if they're not breathing and you're trained

Power Outage: Utility or Your House?

Before you call an electrician for a power outage, figure out if it's you or Met-Ed:

It's a utility outage if:

• Neighbors also lost power
• Streetlights are dark
• A storm just came through

Report to Met-Ed: 1-888-544-4877 (or text OUT to 544487)

It's likely YOUR electrical system if:

• Only your house is dark
• Specific circuits or rooms lost power
• Breakers have tripped

Check Met-Ed's outage map online before calling an electrician—you might be in a reported outage area.

Emergency Electrician Costs

Service	Typical Cost
Emergency service call	$150-400
Response time	1-2 hours
After-hours premium	50-100%+ markup

HVAC Emergencies: When Your House Becomes Uninhabitable

Your furnace dying in a Berks County January isn't just an inconvenience—it's dangerous. Pipes can freeze. Vulnerable family members (elderly, infants, those with medical conditions) can suffer. And in an August heat wave, no AC is its own emergency.

What Counts as an HVAC Emergency?

Heating emergencies:

• No heat when it's below freezing outside
• Gas smell from furnace (evacuate, call UGI: 1-800-276-2722)
• Carbon monoxide detector alarming (evacuate, call 911)
• Furnace making banging, screeching, or unusual sounds
• Visible smoke or burning smell from heating equipment

Cooling emergencies:

• No AC during extreme heat with vulnerable people in the home
• AC unit sparking, smoking, or making alarming sounds
• Refrigerant leak (hissing sound, ice on unit, chemical smell)

Before You Call for Emergency HVAC Service

Check these first—you might save yourself a service call:

1. Thermostat: Is it set to "heat" (winter) or "cool" (summer)? Is the temperature set correctly? Are the batteries dead?
2. Circuit breaker: Has the HVAC breaker tripped?
3. Furnace power switch: There's usually a switch that looks like a light switch near your furnace. Is it on?
4. Air filter: A severely clogged filter can shut down the system. When did you last change it?
5. Gas valve: For gas furnaces, is the valve open?

If you've checked all of these and still have no heat or cooling, call for service.

Staying Safe While Waiting

No heat in winter:

• Space heaters: Keep 3 feet from anything flammable, never leave unattended, never use while sleeping
• Layer clothing and use blankets
• Gather everyone in one room and close doors to unused rooms
• NEVER use your gas oven, stove, or outdoor grills to heat your home—this causes carbon monoxide poisoning deaths every winter

No AC in extreme heat:

• Stay hydrated—drink water even if you're not thirsty
• Take cool showers
• Go somewhere with AC (library, mall, community center)
• Call 211 to find cooling centers during heat emergencies
• Watch for heat exhaustion: heavy sweating, cold/clammy skin, fast weak pulse, nausea

The Wait Time Reality

During extreme cold snaps or heat waves, every HVAC company in Berks County is slammed. You might wait 4-8 hours or more. Companies often prioritize existing customers—another reason to establish a relationship with an HVAC company before you're in crisis.

Service	Typical Cost
Emergency service call	$200-400+
After-hours premium	1.5x - 2x normal rates
Response time	2-4 hours (longer in extreme weather)
Common repairs	$200-1,500 depending on issue

Locked Out: Locksmiths and Avoiding Scams

It's midnight. You're standing outside your house. Your keys are inside. It happens to everyone eventually.

What You Need to Know About Locksmith Scams

This is important: the locksmith industry has a serious scam problem. Here's how it works:

You Google "locksmith near me" and call the first number. A friendly voice quotes you $35-45. Great! Then the "locksmith" arrives in an unmarked car, can't show ID, and suddenly the price is $300+. They might drill your lock (destroying it unnecessarily) and pressure you to pay cash on the spot.

How to protect yourself:

Before calling:

• Use BerksConnect to find verified, reviewed locksmiths with real Berks County addresses
• Be suspicious of 1-800 numbers or services that answer with generic "locksmith services" instead of their company name

On the phone:

• Get a firm total quote including trip charges and after-hours fees
• Get their company name and address
• Ask what vehicle they'll arrive in and what ID they'll have

When they arrive:

• Verify they're from the company you called
• Ask for ID and a business card
• Get a written estimate before they touch anything
• A legitimate locksmith can usually open a standard lock without drilling—be suspicious if they want to drill immediately
• Be wary if the price suddenly increases

Red flags:

• Quote of $15-45 that balloons on arrival
• Unmarked vehicles
• No ID or business card
• Cash-only demand
• Immediate desire to drill your lock

Locksmith Costs (Legitimate Ones)

Service	Typical Cost
Car lockout	$50-100
Home lockout	$75-150
Lock rekey (per lock)	$20-50
Lock replacement (emergency)	$100-250
After-hours premium	Add $50-100

Roadside Emergencies: Stranded in Berks County

You're on Route 422 with steam coming from under your hood. You're in a Wawa parking lot with a dead battery. You slid off Route 183 into a ditch during a snowstorm.

Before You Call for a Tow: Check Your Coverage

You might already have free roadside assistance through:

• AAA membership: 1-800-222-4357
• Your auto insurance — Many policies include roadside assistance; check your app or card
• Your credit card — Some premium cards include roadside
• Your car manufacturer — New vehicles often come with roadside assistance
• Your cell phone plan — Some include it

Using existing coverage can save you $100-200+.

Towing and Roadside Costs

Service	Typical Cost
Local tow (under 10 miles)	$75-150
Per-mile charge	$3-7
Jump start	$50-75
Flat tire change	$50-100
Lockout	$50-100
Fuel delivery	$50-75 + fuel
Winch-out (snow/ditch)	$75-150+
After-hours premium	Add 25-50%

Staying Safe While Waiting

On highways (422, 222, I-78, 61):

Berks County highways are dangerous places to be stopped. People drive fast, and accidents happen on the shoulder every year.

• Pull as far off the road as safely possible
• Turn on hazard lights immediately
• If you have them, place flares or reflective triangles behind your vehicle
• Stay inside with your seatbelt on if traffic is heavy
• If you must exit, exit on the side away from traffic
• Stand well away from your vehicle and traffic lanes
• At night, turn on your interior light so you're visible to rescuers

In winter:

• Run the engine sparingly for heat, but keep the exhaust pipe clear of snow (carbon monoxide danger)
• Keep a window cracked slightly for ventilation
• Use emergency blankets or extra clothing (keep an emergency kit in your car)

Emergency Veterinarians: When Your Pet Can't Wait

Pet emergencies are uniquely awful. Your companion is suffering, you're panicked, and it's 2 AM on a Sunday. Here's what you need to know.

Your 24-Hour Option: BluePearl Pet Hospital

BluePearl Pet Hospital Wyomissing
Address: 792 Woodland Road, Wyomissing, PA 19610
Phone: (610) 775-7535
Hours: 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year

BluePearl is the primary 24-hour emergency veterinary hospital for Berks County. Their facility (opened 2025) has an in-house laboratory, surgical suites, ICU, and specialists in emergency/critical care, surgery, internal medicine, oncology, neurology, and cardiology.

ASPCA Animal Poison Control: 888-426-4435 (fee applies, available 24/7) — Call if your pet ate something potentially toxic. They can tell you if it's truly dangerous and what to do.

Signs Your Pet Needs Emergency Care NOW

Pets hide pain. By the time they show obvious distress, things may be serious.

Go to the emergency vet immediately for:

• Difficulty breathing or choking
• Collapse, inability to stand, or sudden weakness
• Uncontrolled bleeding
• Suspected poisoning
• Seizures lasting more than a few minutes, or multiple seizures
• Inability to urinate — especially in male cats, this can be life-threatening within hours
• Severe vomiting or diarrhea, especially with blood
• Trauma (hit by car, fall, animal attack)
• Obvious severe pain
• Bloated/distended abdomen — in large breed dogs, this could be GDV (bloat), which is fatal without immediate surgery
• Eye injuries or sudden blindness
• Heatstroke symptoms

The Cost Reality

Emergency vet care is expensive. I wish I could tell you otherwise.

Expect $150-300+ just for the exam, with treatment costs on top. A serious emergency (surgery, overnight ICU stay) can easily cost $2,000-7,000 or more.

Options to manage costs:

• Pet insurance — Best purchased when your pet is young and healthy
• CareCredit — Healthcare credit card accepted by most emergency vets
• Emergency savings — Consider setting aside $50/month for pet emergencies

Common Toxins in Berks County Homes

Toxic to Dogs	Toxic to Cats	Toxic to Both
Chocolate	Lilies (all parts)	Antifreeze
Grapes/raisins	Essential oils	Rat poison
Xylitol (sugar-free gum)	Onions/garlic	Human medications
Macadamia nuts	String/ribbon	Household cleaners

After a Break-In: Securing Your Home

Discovering someone has broken into your home is violating in a way that's hard to describe. Here's what to do.

If You Come Home to Signs of Break-In

Do NOT enter. The intruder might still be inside.

1. Call 911 from outside or a neighbor's house
2. Wait at a safe distance until police clear the home
3. Do not touch anything—preserve evidence

After Police Clear the Home

1. Walk through with officers to identify what's missing
2. Take photos and videos of all damage
3. Make a detailed list of stolen items with descriptions and values
4. Get a copy of the police report (you'll need it for insurance)
5. Contact your homeowner's or renter's insurance
6. Report stolen credit cards, IDs, or checkbooks immediately

Secure the Property Immediately

Call an emergency locksmith to change all locks—you don't know what keys were copied or what information was taken.

Change:

• All exterior door locks
• Garage door code
• Gate locks
• Any lock where a key was hidden outside

If windows or doors are damaged, call for emergency board-up service. Consider staying elsewhere if you don't feel safe—that's normal and okay.

Find locksmiths in Berks County on BerksConnect.

Storm and Weather Emergencies

Berks County gets it all: severe thunderstorms, ice storms, winter storms, and occasional flooding along the Schuylkill River and its tributaries. Weather emergencies are when preparation matters most.

Power Outages

Report to Met-Ed: 1-888-544-4877 or text OUT to 544487

Check the Met-Ed outage map online for restoration estimates before settling in for a long night.

During extended outages:

• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed (food is safe for 4 hours in closed fridge, 48 hours in full freezer)
• Use flashlights, not candles (fire hazard)
• Unplug sensitive electronics—power surges when power returns can damage them
• Never run generators indoors or in attached garages — Carbon monoxide kills

Tree Emergencies

Situation	Who to Call
Tree on house	Insurance company first, then tree service
Tree on power lines	Met-Ed: 1-888-544-4877 (stay FAR away)
Tree blocking road	911 non-emergency or local police
Tree blocking your driveway	Tree removal service

Never approach downed power lines. They can energize the ground around them. Assume they're live.

Flooding

Parts of Berks County flood regularly—along the Schuylkill River, Tulpehocken Creek, and various tributaries. If you live in a flood-prone area, you know the drill.

During flooding:

• "Turn Around, Don't Drown" — Do not drive through flooded roads. It takes just 12 inches of moving water to sweep away a car.
• Don't walk through flood water—contamination, hidden hazards, strong currents
• Move to higher ground if water is rising
• Turn off electricity to flooded areas if you can safely reach the panel

After flooding:

• Don't return until authorities say it's safe
• Document everything with photos before cleanup
• Wear protective gear (boots, gloves, mask) during cleanup
• Discard any food that contacted flood water
• Call water damage restoration professionals for serious flooding

Your Emergency Kit

Don't wait until the power goes out to gather supplies.

Essential kit:

• Flashlights and extra batteries
• Battery-powered or hand-crank radio
• First aid kit
• Non-perishable food and water (1 gallon per person per day for 3 days)
• Medications (7-day supply)
• Phone chargers (battery backup)
• Cash (ATMs don't work without power)
• Important documents in waterproof container

Know Your Home Before an Emergency

The best time to find your shutoffs is NOT during an emergency. Do this today:

Locate and label:

• Main water shutoff — Usually in basement, on the wall facing the street
• Electrical panel — Know where the main breaker is
• Gas shutoff — At the meter or main valve (you may need a wrench)
• Water heater shutoff — Both water supply and gas/electric
• Outdoor faucet interior shutoffs — Critical for winterization
• Sump pump — If you have one, know where it is and whether it's working

Show your family members where these are. A kid old enough to call 911 is old enough to know where the water shutoff is.
