Who we are
We are a group trained to provide emergency medical care in our community composed of volunteers extensively trained in Basic Life Support. We work in conjunction with other emergency services to provide quick and effective medical assistance during emergencies.

What we do
We are NJ licensed to handle emergent life threats in basic life support, wound care, CPR, and other essential first aid skills. Initial training takes over 200 hours, and each of us stays certified with annual continuing education courses provided by the Red Cross. local emergency services, and other licensed med-education providers. We stay up-to-date with the latest medical techniques and technologies, and our medical direction is provided by Atlantic Heath’s Morristown Medical Center.

How to help
Being an EMT is a fulfilling and rewarding experience. It provides an opportunity to give back to the community and positively impact people’s lives. The training is at no charge to you. We also have opportunities for those to choose not to go through the extensive medical training and just wat to drive our rigs.
