Long Valley First Aid Squad

Volunteers providing EMS and Rescue services since 1957. The Long Valley First Aid Squad was formed and incorporated on April 19, 1957.

Twelve individuals had met and trained for one year prior to this date. Up until this time the Chester Volunteer Fire Company First Aid Squad had provided service. The original membership of the Squad was made up of firemen from the Long Valley Fire Department and other concerned citizens. The initial training of the original members consisted of Standard and Advanced Red Cross Courses which were

given at Muhlenberg Hospital and Hunterdon Medical Center. Today, the squad has grown and continues to grow and serve with the help of the community. http://lvfas.org/index.html

This afternoon, Long Valley First Aid Squad Rescue Services members conducted some heavy lifting operations to assist the Washington Township Land Trust with the removal of a large tree that was caught up in the intake of the historical Obadiah LaTourette Mill located in the center of Long Valley.

The tree had been swept down stream in spring storms and came to rest against the foundation of the Mill and was causing additional debris to become lodged. Rescue Services Members utilized a griphoist and rigging equipment off of Rescue 1 to pull the tree and debris away where they could be cut into manageable sections.

The Obadiah LaTourette Mill was built in 1750 and operated as a grist and saw Mill for over 200 years. Operations ceased in the early 1940s. The Mill now is entrusted to the Washington Township Land Trust.

Interested in how you can give back to your community? Long Valley First Aid Squad is currently seeking EMS and Rescue Services volunteers. An in-house EMT class is scheduled to start in August. Email [email protected] for more information on how you can volunteer.

The Washington Township Land Trust is also seeking volunteers to assist with grounds maintenance and general upkeep of properties. Email [email protected] for more information on this great group of folks that keeps Long Valleys heritage alive.

On Monday, Long Valley First Aid Squad Rescue Services held its monthly drill, focusing on vehicle extrication.

Rescue Members worked simultaneous scenarios utilizing tools and equipment from both Rescue 1 and Rescue 2.

Crews from Rescue 2 were assigned to extricate our "Rescue Randy" mannequin- he's always getting himself in precarious situations. Crews encountered roof and door intrusion to the driver side. Rescuers worked on fundamentals, getting our members a bunch of hands-on reps!

Meanwhile, Crews from Rescue 1 worked a side resting SUV that was teetering on a log. Rescuers utilized Paratech Fire & Rescue Equipment struts to stabilize the vehicle and a griphoist for a tensioned back-tie. Reciprocating saws and Holmatro Pentheon tools were put to work to gain access to the patient. Rescuers then displaced the dash utilizing multiple techniques- including some old-school chain grab on the steering column.

Long Valley First Aid Squad is always looking for new EMS and Rescue Services Members! Interested in joining? Email [email protected] for more information. Another EMT course is in the works for late summer/early Fall!
