The Plainsboro Rescue Squad
The Plainsboro Rescue Squad is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and is funded entirely by tax-exempt voluntary contributions from individuals and organizations. Also known as Station 100, we are the 911 Emergency Medical Service of the township of Plainsboro NJ. With highly trained EMTs and state of the art ambulances, Station 100 responds to all 911 calls on medical emergencies, assisting the police department and the fire department to provide life-saving care to the sick and the injured. Everything from the ambulances to uniforms, bandages, and medical oxygen is paid for by donations and charitable grants.
So what would happen if there was no Plainsboro Rescue Squad?
The Township currently staffs one ambulance crew for 12 hours per day, Monday through Friday. This is called “Plainsboro Township EMS.“ However, this leaves weeknights and weekends without coverage. That is where the Plainsboro Rescue Squad comes in. At least once per week, multiple calls come in a short amount of time such that two or more ambulances are needed simultaneously. To attend to these calls, most PRS members keep their pagers on at all times, ready to respond when an emergency arises. In the few instances where more than three ambulances are needed, our dispatchers call neighboring townships for assistance. Likewise, when other townships need assistance, our squad is proactive in responding to those calls as well.

For more than 40 years, PRS volunteers have stepped up and provided basic life support and aid to the community. In towns like ours, it is necessary to have volunteers so that we have enough crew members to take on many calls when several ambulances are needed.
We do it because we love what we do, but in order to continue helping you, we need your support as well. Click here for more information.
