We are asking for your support for a fellow EMT who has recently been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. While she is not a member of our organization, she is part of the first responder community a family that stands together in times of need.

As first responders, we are called to serve others in their most difficult moments. Now, it is our duty to come together and support one of our own as she faces this challenge. Any assistance, whether through donations, sharing her story, or offering words of encouragement, will make a meaningful impact.

Thank you for helping us stand beside a fellow EMT during this difficult time.

It’s that time of year again.

The Phillipsburg High School senior class will soon be kicking off Senior Assassins 2026.

For those unfamiliar, Senior Assassins is an informal game where participants try to “eliminate” their assigned target using water guns.

To the PHS seniors, especially those in Phillipsburg and Alpha, we know this is something many of you look forward to each year. We are not here to ruin anyone’s fun. While we do not condone or encourage participation, we recognize some students may still choose to take part. Our priority is simple: have fun, but do it safely and use common sense.

A few important reminders:

* Do not run into or across heavily traveled roadways.
* Stay off private property unless you have permission.
* Be extra careful at night or in low-light areas. What looks like a game to you may look suspicious to someone else.
* Use brightly colored water guns only. Avoid anything dark colored or realistic looking.
* Do not drive recklessly because you spotted your target.
* Do not chase anyone with a vehicle.

At the end of the day, no game is worth someone getting hurt, causing a crash, frightening a resident, or creating a police response that could have been avoided.

Have fun, make the memories, and keep it safe.

You are the calm in the chaos, the steady voice in someone’s darkest moment, and the critical first link in every emergency response. Before our crews ever arrive on scene, your professionalism, compassion, and quick decision making have already set lifesaving care in motion.

Every call you answer, every instruction you give, and every unit you dispatch makes a difference. Your dedication keeps first responders informed, safe, and ready to serve our community when every second matters most.

To the men and women behind the headset thank you for your unwavering commitment, your partnership, and the extraordinary work you do every day. The Phillipsburg Emergency Squad is proud to stand beside you in service to Warren County.
