Beachwood EMS proudly held our 84th Annual Installation Dinner on Saturday evening, celebrating the dedication and accomplishments of our members and community partners.

We were honored to recognize several individuals for their outstanding service:

🏅 Rookie of the Year: EMT Jennifer Huyser
🏅 Chief’s Award: Beachwood Fire Department Chief Roger Hull
🏅 EMT of the Year: Kimberly McKay

🚑 Lifesaving Award: EMT Christopher Baier and EMT Matthew Rice
Christopher and Matthew were recognized for their lifesaving actions during the overnight hours in May 2025, when their quick response and CPR efforts helped save a life. We would also like to extend a special thank you to the Beachwood Police Department officers who were first on scene and played a critical role in the lifesaving efforts, as well as RWJ Paramedics who responded to assist on this call. This was truly a team effort that made a difference.

We would also like to extend a sincere thank you to South Toms River EMS for providing coverage to our area during the afternoon hours Saturday while our members attended the event.

Congratulations again to all of our award recipients, and thank you to everyone who continues to support Beachwood EMS and the mission of volunteer emergency medical services.

WINTER STORM RECAP — BEACHWOOD EMS

Over the course of the recent winter storm, our Agency was dispatched to 14 calls for service. In the days following the storm (Tuesday & Wednesday), we were dispatched to an additional 16 calls for service — bringing our total to 30 calls in just a few short days.

These calls ranged from emergencies within our primary coverage area to assisting our mutual aid partners in surrounding communities. We’re proud to serve whenever and wherever we’re needed.

A special thank you goes out to our mutual aid partners who stepped in to assist when needed during this especially busy period. As a fully volunteer agency, we work closely with surrounding departments, and during high call volumes we sometimes rely on that strong mutual aid system to help ensure continued coverage for everyone in our area.
