The Milltown Rescue Squad is a NJ Department of Health Licensed Emergency Medical Service organization that serves the Borough of Milltown, and the western portion of East Brunswick Township. We also provide mutual aid services to our surrounding towns in the event they need additional EMS or Rescue resources at any given time. The Squad operates 24/7 and responds to roughly 800 calls per year. These calls range from Medical Emergencies to Motor Vehicle Accidents to Stand-Bys at community events such as the Middlesex County Fair in August. The Squad is comprised entirely of volunteer members. The only compensation we receive is the joy of being able to help our friends and neighbors in their time of need. Most of our members are New Jersey State Certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT). EMTs are trained to provide Emergency Medicine at a Basic Life Support (BLS) level in both medical and trauma related emergencies. Many of our members are also cross trained and certified in extrication, and unlike many other squads, we have to ability to rescue patients who are entrapped in their cars after a serious crash. Other members are certified in Water Rescue, Haz-Mat, Fire Rehab, and as Firefighters.
