Met Steven and Henry! These two men get up in the middle of the night, on weekends, holidays, in good weather and bad, helping the people of our town on the Wanaque First Aid Squad.

On the left is Steven Dykhouse, a member since 2021. Steven works as Security officer at Christian Health Center, is a Special Police Officer for the Borough of Wanaque, and he is in college for Radiography. Steven has always had a passion to help people, whether it’s using direct pressure on a wound or
just talking to them. He said the best part of being on the Squad is “hearing everyone’s story on what they did, what they do, and learning from their experience.” Steve is very proud to have been named EMT of the year, and has helped many residents From the Borough, especially the 2 people he helped save their lives with CPR.

Henry is a Program Manager at ICF. He has served proudly since 2022 and also has 2 CPR saves, not to mention the countless other calls to be very proud of. He says that the best part of being on the Squad is “the other people on the Squad and the service provided to the community”. Henry is the Squad’s Treasurer, and does an
excellent job keeping track of every penny donated to us to purchase new ambulances. Any Monday night you find the need for an ambulance you will usually find Henry & his crew
there to assist you. In his personal life you can find he and his wife living in Brookside Heights, and you can sometimes catch him serving as a Lector at Saint Francis of Assisi. Because of Henry’s dedication to help others, just this year he was chosen to receive the Knights of Columbus Award for Outstanding Member of the Wanaque First Aid Squad.

There is an upcoming EMT class coming in the early Fall at our building. We would love for anyone 16 and up to join us help us.
If at all interested come by the building on Melrose Ave. or Facebook IM us. We would really like to share a very rewarding experience with you!
