The
squad was originally formed in 1927 and worked with Union Fire Company.
It then incorporated in 1979 as Medford Emergency Squad. They became
known as Medford Lakes Emergency Squad in 1991.
The Medford Lakes Emergency Squad
is an all volunteer non-profit organization of 18 active members,
12 EMTS and 6 Non EMTS who help with Non Emergency Squad business.
We also have a number of associate members who help us, but belong
to another neighboring squad or Fire Company. We are here primarily
for Medford Lakes residents although we also participate in the
mutual aid system of helping neighboring towns. Our Primary source
of revenue is the fund drive and fund raisers. We purchase our own
ambulances. (2) We have one boat and one crash trailer.
In
1997 we responded to a little over 250 calls and did an additional
1000 hours of training and community stand by activities.
*If you have an emergency call 9-1-1.*
