We are looking for individuals who want to give back to their community and maybe even save a life. Does this sound like you? In order to continue providing this free emergency care service to our community, we are always looking for new volunteers. We rely on the dedication of our professional volunteers to keep our community healthy. The Squad responds to about 375-420 calls per year. Our members take the form of ambulance drivers, EMTs, and EMRs. Note that EMRs must be a path toward certified EMT. EMRs are not recognized in NJ. You do not have to have a medical background, the Initial EMT training teaches you everything you need to know to start helping.
Members above the age of 16 are welcome. If you are 16 or 17 years old, you are welcome to join our Cadet Program.
Please consider volunteering for the Squad. New members are always welcome!

EMT Class Registration
To become an EMT you must complete a state certified EMT class that teaches you the information and skills necessary. Once the class and 10 clinical hours is completed you must take the NREMT (National Registry EMT) exam. Once you pass the exam, you will become a certified NREMT, you can then get your NJ EMT certification by contacting NJ DOH. Once you have your NJ EMT you are certified by NJ and can provide BLS (Basic Life Support).
Some EMT courses are available at the locations below. The curriculum for the Initial EMT program is about 200 hours. Attendance to every class is mandatory so it is important to find a class that works for your schedule. Some programs are completely in class settings and some are a hybrid of in person and online. After successful completion of the course, the candidate must pass the NREMT exam. A state training fund will pay for your initial EMT training if you are with a first aid squad, if not you can pay out of pocket.
