Welcome to the Plainsboro Rescue Squad
|
|
During evenings and weekends, the Plainsboro public relies on Plainsboro Rescue Squad to respond to medical emergencies, trauma, vehicle accidents and standby ambulance services for sporting events, certain community events and gatherings and for the Fire Department attending fires. |
|
The Plainsboro Rescue Squad (PRS) is staffed entirely by highly motivated and trained volunteer Emergency Medical Technicians and trainees who live in the community. We are not part of the Fire Department or any Federal, State, County or Town funding organization. We are neighbors helping neighbors.
Most of the members joined without any prior medical training and have since received hundreds of hours of training and have responded to hundreds of emergencies. PRS members have various reasons for joining and remaining on the squad. We like what we do and we get great satisfaction from serving the community when we are needed most. |
During the business day (6:00 AM through 6:00 PM Mon-Fri), Plainsboro Township EMS provides emergency services by hiring paid Emergency Medical Technicians. But even during the day, if a second or third ambulance is required, Plainsboro Rescue Squad volunteers respond when needed.
Note that there is no charge for the services of Plainsboro Rescue Squad – even for the supplies used for treatment and transportation. PRS relies on a donations from residents a grant from the township, and gifts from local businesses and other charitable foundation grants. Volunteers answer calls, service the equipment, and receive additional training on their own personal time. |
We do it because we love what we do and we know we are needed, but we also need support from the community. Donations and volunteers are always needed.
We have two videos that help explain what we do and how we work - click here to see
