Hi! I’m Gurvinder, and I’ve been a member of FLVAC since May 2024.
I joined because I wanted to give back to the community in a hands-on, meaningful way. Fair Lawn is a wonderful town with great schools, and I was looking for a way to contribute. I used to drive past the “Volunteers Needed” sign at the ambulance headquarters almost every day—and eventually, I took it as a personal challenge. Since I’d always wanted to volunteer with the ambulance, it felt like the perfect opportunity. There’s a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment that comes from being one of the first responders on scene and being able to help when it matters most.
Volunteering here has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve done. I really enjoy the camaraderie—everyone supports each other, and you truly feel like part of a second family. Plus, where else can you bond over midnight calls, caffeine, and working through the uniqueness of every call?
