Today, the Township of Hamilton Rescue Squad was honored to receive a generous donation from longtime Township resident and Atlantic County Commissioner Art Schenker.

Fifteen years ago, Art suffered a sudden cardiac arrest in his residence. Thanks to the rapid response of our EMTs and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), two lifesaving shocks were delivered, restoring his pulse before he was transported to the hospital for further treatment. While he faced complications during his recovery, Art ultimately made a full recovery.

Following his recovery, Art continued his commitment to public service, serving on the Hamilton Township Committee and as Mayor for a number of years. Today, he continues to serve the residents of Atlantic County as a County Commissioner.

Stories like Art’s highlight the importance of having a well-equipped EMS system ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen without warning, and early defibrillation is often the difference between life and death. AEDs are among the most important tools carried by EMTs, allowing providers to quickly identify and treat life-threatening heart rhythms when every second counts.

Recognition from members of our community is always meaningful. While our personnel come to work each day focused on providing the highest level of care possible, it is rewarding to hear from those whose lives have been directly impacted by the services we provide. Support and appreciation from residents help reinforce the importance of our mission and the critical role EMS plays in protecting the health and safety of our community.

On behalf of the entire Township of Hamilton Rescue Squad, we thank Art for his generosity, his continued support of emergency services, and for taking the time to recognize the care he received all those years ago. His story serves as a powerful reminder that cardiac arrest survivors can go on to live full, productive lives when early intervention, skilled providers, and lifesaving equipment come together at the right moment.

βš οΈπŸ›Ÿ WATER SAFETY AWARENESS πŸ›Ÿβš οΈ

The Township of Hamilton Rescue Squad would like to support and reinforce the important message shared by our Dive Team regarding the dangers of swimming at Weymouth Furnace.

As a rescue agency, we respond alongside our Dive Team to water emergencies throughout our community. We have seen firsthand how quickly a day of recreation can turn into a life-threatening situation.

Many people only see the calm water at the surface, but beneath lies a combination of hazards including sudden temperature changes, strong and unpredictable currents, deep water, poor visibility, and submerged debris such as trees and branches. These conditions can quickly overwhelm even experienced swimmers.

When emergencies occur in these environments, every second matters. Rescue operations in moving water are complex, dangerous, and require highly trained personnel working together to safely locate and recover victims.

We encourage everyone to take the warnings seriously and understand that these dangers are very real. The best rescue is the one that never has to happen.

As summer approaches, please make smart decisions around the water, supervise children closely, wear life jackets when appropriate, and avoid swimming in prohibited or hazardous areas such as Weymouth Furnace.

We are proud to stand alongside our Dive Team and all of our public safety partners who work tirelessly to keep our community safe.

πŸš’πŸš‘πŸ›Ÿ Stay safe. Stay aware. Respect the water

πŸš‘ New Jersey legislation A1008 πŸš‘

is an extremely important bill for EMS providers, first responders, and the residents we serve every single day. This legislation would require municipalities to provide Basic Life Support (BLS) services and officially recognize EMS as an essential service in the State of New Jersey.

For years, EMS professionals and volunteers have responded to emergencies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year β€” providing lifesaving care during medical emergencies, motor vehicle crashes, fires, natural disasters, and public health crises. Despite this, EMS has still not been classified as an essential service in New Jersey like police and fire services already are.

Passing A1008 would help strengthen emergency medical services across the state by improving stability, encouraging proper funding, supporting recruitment and retention, and helping ensure communities continue to receive reliable emergency medical care when seconds matter most.

EMS providers are often the first to arrive when someone is experiencing the worst day of their life. Recognizing EMS as essential is not just about legislation β€” it is about acknowledging the critical role EMTs, paramedics, and rescue personnel play in protecting public health and safety every day.

🚨 If you support this bill, we encourage you to contact your New Jersey State Senators and Assembly representatives and ask them to support A1008. Public support and community involvement can make a major difference in helping this legislation move forward.

Please take a few moments to reach out, send an email, or make a phone call to let your elected officials know that EMS deserves to be recognized as an essential service in New Jersey.

Together, we can help protect the future of emergency medical services for all of our communities. πŸš‘πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

πŸš‘ Celebrating EMS Week | May 17 – May 23 πŸš‘

Today marks the official start of EMS Week, a time dedicated to recognizing the hardworking EMTs across the country who answer the call day and night to provide lifesaving care to those in need.

Throughout the week, many towns and agencies recognize their local EMTs for the critical role they play in protecting the health and safety of their communities.

πŸ§ πŸ’š May is Mental Health Awareness Month πŸ’šπŸ§ 

Mental health is just as important as physical health. Every day, people around us may be struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or other challenges that often go unseen. Taking care of your mental well-being is not a sign of weakness β€” it is a sign of strength.

At Township of Hamilton Rescue, we also recognize the unique mental health challenges faced by first responders. EMTs, firefighters, police officers, dispatchers, and healthcare workers are regularly exposed to traumatic incidents and high-stress situations while serving our communities. It is important to check in on one another, have conversations, and remind each other that it is okay to ask for help.

If you are struggling, please know you are never alone. Support is available 24 hours a day:

πŸ“ž NJ Mental Health Cares: 1-866-202-HELP (4357)
πŸ“ž Su***de & Crisis Lifeline: Call or Text 988πŸ“ž NJ Hopeline: 1-855-654-6735

A simple conversation, checking in on a friend, or reaching out for support can make a difference. Let’s continue working together to break the stigma surrounding mental health and support one another β€” both on and off the job.

πŸš‘ Township of Hamilton Rescue Expands Patient Care Capabilities πŸš‘

Township of Hamilton Rescue is proud to announce that, as of 1800 hours today, we are officially LIVE with our Expanded EMS Protocols, allowing our EMTs to provide an even higher level of prehospital care to the residents and visitors of Hamilton Township.

These new protocols include:

🫁 Albuterol & Nebulizer Treatments
EMTs can now administer breathing treatments to patients experiencing respiratory distress from conditions such as asthma, COPD, allergic reactions, and other breathing emergencies. These medications help open the airways and improve oxygen flow, allowing patients to breathe easier sooner.

😷 CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)
CPAP is a non-invasive breathing device used for patients suffering from severe breathing difficulties, including congestive heart failure and respiratory distress. By helping keep the airways open and improving oxygenation, CPAP can significantly improve patient outcomes before arriving at the hospital.

🩸 Glucometry
Our EMTs are now able to check blood sugar levels in the field using glucometers. This allows us to quickly identify diabetic emergencies and better assess patients experiencing altered mental status, weakness, dizziness, or other medical conditions related to blood glucose levels.

These expanded protocols greatly enhance our ability to provide advanced, timely treatment in the field while continuing to bridge the gap between Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support care.

Prior to going live, our members completed extensive classroom education, hands-on skills training, competency evaluations, and scenario-based instruction to ensure the highest level of patient care and safety. Our providers dedicated countless hours to mastering these skills and preparing to better serve our community.

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to Virtua HealthοΏΌ for their guidance, education, and continued support throughout this process.

Most importantly, thank you to our dedicated EMTs and staff who continuously strive to provide the best possible care to our residents and visitors every single day. Your commitment, professionalism, and passion for serving the community do not go unnoticed.
