The Scotch Plains Rescue Squad would like to express our gratitude to all those that have helped us reach a great and impressive milestone. We are entering our 75th year of uninterrupted volunteer emergency medical services to the community of Scotch Plains. We hope you will join us during this celebratory year.
Volunteer members commemorate a historical milestone in community service
Scotch Plains Rescue Squad members are memorializing seventy-five years of emergency medical volunteer service to the community – a distinction that very few rescue squads in the state have reached. The theme of the 2012 observance has been designated, “Keeping our Community Alive for 75.”
The squad will be recalling its seventy-fifth year of uninterrupted service to the community, totally staffed by dedicated volunteers. The squad presently has over ninety volunteer members who have over seven hundred combined years of service to the community. These volunteers respond to emergency calls on a twenty-four hour basis. Records indicate that the squad answered over 76,000 emergency calls in over seventy-four years of service. The Scotch Plains Rescue Squad often serves other communities for mutual aid response. These volunteers have provided service without charge to residents. The rescue squad is supported only by tax-deductible donations.
