On Sunday, October 18 at 9:00 a.m., join us for the inaugural Millburn-Short Hills First Aid 5K, a fun, family-friendly morning bringing our community together.

Run or walk the scenic 5K through South Mountain Reservation, with both timed and untimed options available.

Then, after you cross the finish line, come visit us at the squad for our Open House! Tour our ambulances, see the equipment we use on emergency calls, meet our volunteer EMTs, and learn what it takes to serve your community as an EMT. Refreshments will follow the race.

For nearly 70 years, the Millburn-Short Hills Volunteer First Aid Squad has served our community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Our EMTs are entirely volunteer, and our services are completely free of charge.

Come on your own, bring the family, grab some friends, or put together a team. Run, walk, cheer—or just stop by the Open House and say hello!

What an amazing group of kids!

We’ve nominated H. Steven Roth for the 2026 EMS Volunteer Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by the New Jersey Department of Health’s Office of Emergency Medical Services at the National Conference on EMS.

Steve has served with the Millburn-Short Hills Volunteer First Aid Squad for more than 30 years. He has answered thousands of calls, led the organization through years of change and helped keep an independent, community-funded, 100 percent volunteer EMS service operating around the clock without billing patients.

And he still rides. Steve works a regular 12-hour shift every week, along with an additional weekend shift every two months.

As our longtime president, Steve supports his line officers, shares the institutional knowledge that keeps the Squad running and gives people room to move new ideas and community programs forward.

Steve has been missing dinners, running out in the middle of the night and dropping phone calls for more than three decades. We’re proud to put his name forward.

More great tips for staying ahead of the heat!

☀️ Extreme heat is here, and vehicle temperatures can rise quickly.

During this Extreme Heat Warning, please take one extra moment before leaving your car STOP • LOOK • LOCK

Check the back seat every time. Children, pets, and loved ones are too precious to forget—and a quick check can prevent a tragedy. Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle, even briefly.

Stay cool, stay alert, and help keep our community safe.

Happy Fourth of July, and happy 250th, America.

As we celebrate with family, friends, flags, and fireworks, we also pause to remember the men and women who served, sacrificed, and paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy.

World War II medic Desmond Doss is remembered for a simple prayer:

“Lord, please help me get one more.”

One more life. One more chance to serve. One more person brought home.

To our volunteers, our neighbors, and everyone who continues to answer the call, thank you.

Stay safe this Fourth of July.

In addition to our dedicated volunteers staffing an ambulance to cover the town, we provided an ambulance crew to assist with EMS coverage during the World Cup match featuring Ecuador and Germany.

We are proud to support the NJ EMS Task Force and fans from around the world who visited the NY/NJ area.
