F.A.Q.

Q. How do I contact the rescue squad?

A. If it an emergency, dial 911!
Otherwise you can call directly into the station at 609-628-2476.

Q. Do you do transports?
A. We are a mix of paid and volunteer members. If you need a transport either home from the hospital or to another facility, call 609-628-2476. We will try to get a volunteer crew to accomidate your needs. This, however, is not a gurantee we can transport you. It all depends on the availibility of our volunteer members. Unfortunatley the paid members can not transport anyone except to the hospital as an emergency.

Q. How do I join?
A. Fill out our online application and someone will contact you, and let you know when to come in and meet with the membership committee and join.

Q. What do I need to do to become an EMT?
A. To become an EMT, you need to have sucessfully completed a healthcare level CPR course. Then sign up for the next available EMT class. The course runs several months, at two evenings a week, and some weekends.

Q. How do you stay up-to-date with current medical standards?
A. Every EMT must attend Continuing Education Courses to maintain their certification. Every 3 years an EMT must obtain 24 Core CEU's, and 24 Elective CEU's. Most training is paid for or provided by the Squad. If you do not maintain the required CEU's, your EMT certification will not be renewed by the state.
