volunteer ambulance services First, and perhaps most important, our members are volunteers, your friends and neighbors.

Some work as full-time EMTs at area hospitals. Others are nurses, business owners, teachers, attorneys, college and high school students. All of us give our time to responding to emergencies, standing by at our building, staffing township events and training. Our ambulances always roll with at least two New Jersey-certified Emergency Medical Technicians aboard. They are often accompanied by additi

onal EMTs or members working toward their certifications. Non-EMTs have, at minimum, professional-level CPR training. As state-certified EMTs, we're required to keep our training current. The State of New Jersey recently expanded the EMT certification cycle to five years, during which time we attend classes to refresh, sharpen, and learn new skills. We also must keep current CPR certifications, usually from the Red Cross or American Heart Association, which have cycles as short as 1 year. Our certification requirements are identical to that of any private or hospital-based service.

The six branches of the star are symbols of the six main tasks executed by rescuers all through the emergency chain.
1.Detection: The first rescuers on the scene, usually untrained civilians or those involved in the incident, observe the scene, understand the problem, identify the dangers to themselves and the others, and take appropriate measures to ensure their safety on the scene (environmental, electricity, chemicals, radiation, etc.).
2.Reporting: The call for professional help is made and dispatch is connected with the victims, providing emergency medical dispatch.
3.Response: The first rescuers provide first aid and immediate care to the extent of their capabilities.
4.On scene care: The EMS personnel arrive and provide immediate care to the extent of their capabilities on-scene.
5.Care in Transit: The EMS personnel proceed to transfer the patient to a hospital via an ambulance or helicopter for specialized care. They provide medical care during the transportation.
6.Transfer to Definitive care: Appropriate specialized care is provided at the hospital.
