It’s always a pleasure to be of help when others are in need!

Last night we were glad to send a BLS into Essex County to assist as needed. Pictured below is one of our ambulances at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children's Hospital of New Jersey alongside an University Hospital unit.

This past Friday our team had our first training with the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Trauma & Injury Prevention Program and Safe Kids Middlesex County. During this course more than 20 of our providers completed the Stop the Bleed course, which paired with their EMT education, allows them to be a Stop the Bleed instructor. At our next class which the rest of our team will be able to attend, along with future additional classes to educate future new providers along with members of the public!

We look forward to continuing to grow our relationship with both Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (which also provides our medical direction) and Safe Kids Middlesex County so that our team of providers can augment their program with more instructors to grow class offerings and ultimately save more lives!

We honestly cannot say enough about the great changes Public Safety Director Stith has brough to Piscataway Township and the Piscataway Township Police Department! We applaud this initiative and welcome the Piscataway Township Police Department to make use of the River Road Rescue Squad's hall to hold a community roll call so that our providers can better get to know the men and women that serve the community that we have called home for more than 60 years!

Public Safety Director
Keith Stith:

Piscataway Community,

I hope this message finds you well. It is both my duty and privilege to ensure that our police department continues building strong relationships with the people we serve. That is why I am proud to introduce a new initiative we are launching: Front Porch Roll Call

Today we were proud to successfully support another Julia Ride organized by the Expendables MC. This year’s ride continued in the tradition of remembering Piscataway Township Police Department officer Julia Caseres who succumbed to cancer while also honoring the life of Spotswood Fire Lt. Robert Oross who passed in a motorcycle accident this past year.

We are thankful to be able to continue the tradition of supporting both this group and this ride year after year as they bring responders and civilians together to assist our brothers and sister’s in their time of need.

During this event, our duty crew responded to a patient in respiratory distress and other members participated in a CEVO (driving) class as they begin their journey learning how to operate an emergency vehicle.

We are proud to be able to continue to serve those in need in so many very different ways and continue to thank all who lend your support to our mission day in and day out.
