Central Old Bridge Emergency Medical Service

Central Old Bridge Emergency Medical Service Welcome to the page of the Central Old Bridge Emergency Medical Service. The roots of The Central Old Bridge Emergency Medical Service, Inc.

began in 1953 , when we were known as the Old Bridge Volunteer Emergency Medical Services, Inc. We have served the Township of Old Bridge and it's residents by providing emergency medical care during their time of need. We are a 100% volunteer organization with a wonderful group of individuals who given their time to help the neighbors. Our squad was originally housed on the corner of Englishtown Road and Third Street, which currently houses the Old Bridge Fire District 3's Board of Commissioners. This building housed our squad until a new building was built in the 1980's on property that we lease from the Old Bridge Township Board of Education located at 133 Ticetown Road, just off Route 9. As of January of 2015, we officially changed our name to Central Old Bridge Emergency Medical Service, Inc. and in June of 2015 we officially became licensed by the State of New Jersey Department of Health and Human Services - Office of Emergency Medical Services. Today, our building on Ticetown Road still stands where it houses our first responder vehicle, two ambulances, our Special Operations Unit and our Special Operations Trailer. It is also a home away from home for our dedicated members. Currently, we have about 35 members who range in age from sixteen to those members in their forties and fifties.

Hello everyone, it is with deep sadness and a heavy heart to let you know that Paul Markinson our treasurer and fellow EMT passed away yesterday. Paul was a great friend and mentor to many people. He will be missed.

Paul served as both an EMT and also as a paramedic in his 30 plus years of service to the community. He not only served as the treasurer and EMT of our first squad but was also a EMS supervisor for the City of Elizabeth (retired). Paul also served as an EMT and paramedic for Robertwood Johnson and Jersey City Medical Center. He also served as a paramedic for Trinitas Hospital and Atlantic Healthcare.

We ask that if you have any pictures with Paul to reply to this post with a picture or two in his memory.

Well some of you may have already heard, some may have not.

Straight from the horse's mouth...Central Old Bridge Emergency Medical Service (formerly Old Bridge Volunteer Emergency Medical Services, aka Green and White) has officially closed ours doors after 70 years of service to the residents of the Township of Old Bridge.

Over the years, your family members, friends, and neighbors have answered the call for those in need, anytime time...day or night. We are grateful for those who have dedicated their time and energy to the organization and to our community, and to the community in general, THANK YOU for all your support over our 70 years of operation.

As a charitable organization, our vehicles and equipment must go to another organization. It's is with great pride that I can say that those vehicles and equipment will be staying in town to continue to serve the residents. Our sister agencies have taken over the use of our vehicles to continue the care of those in need.

As someone who has committed 25 years of serve to this town, I can speak for all the members of the Central Old Bridge Emergency Medical Service (Old Bridge Volunteer Emergency Medical Services) and say that it's been honor to serve this wonderful community.

Many of our members have seen the worst of times with responding to the 9-11 attacks in New York City, the New York blackout, numerous outbreaks of diseases, Covid pandemic, and much more. We have also seen some of the best in people as well...the lives we helped save, the children we helped deliver, and the kindness of strangers.

If you know someone that was a member at any point in time, please feel free to tag the in this post.

Let's show our appreciation to the people that served our community on this wonderful organization.

Once again, THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT OVER OUR 70 YEAR HISTORY!
