Glen Ridge Volunteer Ambulance Squad

Glen Ridge Volunteer Ambulance Squad GRVAS is a non-profit Emergency Medical Service organization that provides Basic Life Support (BLS) coverage for the Borough of Glen Ridge, NJ.

Emergency medical services in Glen Ridge are provided by a three-tiered system which includes police, ambulance, and hospital-based paramedic professionals. A call to 9-1-1 reaches a dispatcher trained to give appropriate instructions until police arrive. In Glen Ridge, all police are First Responder and CPR certified, and are usually on the scene in one minute or less. The Glen Ridge Volunteer Ambulance Squad is dispatched simultaneously and responds with a crew of three volunteers, at least two of whom are emergency medical technicians, in an average time of less than five minutes. Non-emergency medical transportation is available without charge, and by advance appointment, for any Glen Ridge resident who is non-ambulatory or requires special equipment or care. Transports may be scheduled for any day of the week between 7AM and 10PM by calling Ambulance Headquarters at 973-748-7721. Funding for the Glen Ridge Volunteer Ambulance Squad is provided by donations from Glen Ridge Residents.

Impalements aren’t your garden-variety EMS call.

It’s not about buying the fanciest tool in the catalog—it’s about knowing how to use what you already carry, supporting the patient, and figuring out how to move them without making things worse.

FDNY’s training shows why practicing the basics matters more than shiny gear: https://ow.ly/8VIr50WLl1X

This morning, our duty crew, Julie and Jack, participated in a Mass Casualty Drill at Mountainside Medical Center. The drill was coordinated by Jonathan Miller, head of Security at Mountainside. Drills like these help us enhance our skills, learn new techniques and foster relationships with hospitals like Mountainside should the need arise.
