Service will respond. But will the response continue to be adequate to protect you, your family, or your friends? That depends on you. Who Are My 'Protectors'? Emergency Medical Service personnel are neighbors who volunteer their time and energy to provide
you with professional pre-hospital care. These volunteers receive continuous training in order to meet your emergency needs. They receive no pay, only the pride and satisfaction that comes with
helping others.! These volunteers need your support! How Can I Help? You can volunteer as:
You Can Provide Financial Support State law permits your town to budget only a small percentage of the total cost of operating your
Emergency Medical Service. Most of the cost must be raised by the Squads through fund drives. Should your town have to fund the total cost of emergency medical protection because there are no
longer enough volunteers or contributions, the yearly cost could increase the total municipal budget by as much as 12%. This translates into a major increase in your tax bill. The First Aid Squad : How it Serves You
Volunteers are on call 24 hours a day for all medical emergencies occurring within their regional lines. The Squad also performs standbys at fire scenes, sporting events, and serves as back-up
(known as mutual aid) to neighboring towns. About The New Jersey State First Aid Council
