Thank you to everyone who came to our annual EMS Week Open House last night!! We hope everyone had a great time and learned a little more about who we are and what we do.

Thank you as well to all of the squad members who worked tirelessly to plan, clean, setup, and run the open house. Events like this don’t happen without the dedication of our members!! We are proud to serve the Borough and grateful for the continued support from our community. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!!

Congratulations to Brianna Boxwell on receiving the Excellence in EMS Award from Overlook Medical Center.

Since joining our agency, Brianna has consistently focused on two things: doing what’s best for the patient and making this organization better. She’s answered hundreds of calls, mentored newer members, taken an active role in committees, and continually pushed us forward. Brianna also played a major role in launching our first 5K fundraiser, but one of her biggest accomplishments was helping lead the effort to achieve our “Always Ready for Children” accreditation and is currently our Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator. Congratulations to her and thank you for all you do!

Happy EMS Week!! Please take a moment this week to stop and thank an EMT or a paramedic for all they do. The volunteer EMTs who make up the Mountainside Rescue Squad lose sleep, miss time with their family, , miss meals, train hard and do what’s needed to make sure the 911 call is always answered. Come on out this Thursday May 21st from 6:30pm-9pm and see who we are, have some free food, take a look at our equipment, and learn a little about what we do!

Happy EMS Week!! We kicked off with our second annual “Code 5k.” We are incredibly happy with the turn out and have received nothing but positive reviews. We had a new certified route and were so thankful that our runners enjoyed it!! We truly love being able to meet people from the community and reach out.

We would also like to thank all of our sponsors, we would not have been able to do this without them!

A final thank you to for covering the town while we hosted the race, Mountainside PD and Union County PD for helping patrol the streets and get our runners through our course safely!!
