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.

Every day, countless volunteers strengthen and enrich communities across the country through their selfless service. This National Volunteer Week, we offer our gratitude to every individual who generously volunteers their time, talent, and resources to influence and impact the lives of their neighbors, their communities, and the Nation as a whole. At the Glen Ridge Volunteer Ambulance Squad, our volunteers serve the community day and night, 24/7/365 without fail and always free, always highly trained and always proud to be part of a network of squads around the country. Here's to our volunteers and all volunteers nationwide who make our homes safer, healthier and happier.

Since 1950, the Glen Ridge Volunteer Ambulance Squad (GRVAS) has, per month, made approximately one hundred ambulance calls and 10-15 senior transports. This selfless care is all voluntary and is always free. Striving to be kind, compassionate, professional and knowledgeable, GRVAS members are available twenty-four hours a day to help anyone in need.
As the field of EMS changes, we remain committed to making sure our members are trained in the most up to date methods which include BLS medical interventions and protocols, airway management, lifting and moving techniques and the numerous other valuable skills needed to help protect you and our community.
Many of our student members have continued into the health care field, some remaining on the squad well past college. Others are simply proud of the work they have done; the calm professionalism these students show during calls tells us what today’s youth is really all about. So here is to our seniors who will continue to make a difference in the world.

Glen Ridge Volunteer Ambulance Squad High School graduating members help the local Daisy Girl Scout Troop get their safety badges. A fun, educational and safe time was had by all including the dummy (that's how he smiles).
