It is with profound sadness that the Englishtown Manalapan First Aid Squad announces that, after more than 82 years of continuous service to the Township of Manalapan and the Borough of Englishtown, we will be ceasing operations effective October 1, 2024.
In May of 2023 the Manalapan Township Committee put out a Request for Proposal to provide emergency medical services for the Township. It subsequently awarded the contract to Atlantic Mobile Health Services. Atlantic began servicing Manalapan in August 2023. EMFAS continued to serve Englishtown, and provide mutual aid for Manalapan and other surrounding towns, however the resulting call volume is not sufficient to maintain an effective 24/7 service. After a year of investigating if there are any other options, the decision has been made to terminate our operation.
We would like to thank the volunteers (and in recent years the career staff) that provided excellent prehospital care for our Township and Borough for these decades. And we would especially like to thank the residents of Manalapan and Englishtown for all their support throughout our 82 years of service.
Wishing you good health in the future!
The Englishtown Manalapan First Aid Squad
