Bloomsbury Rescue Squad is a Member of the South Regional Rescue Task Force (Serving both Hunterdon and Warren Counties in NJ), along with Franklin Twp (56 Rescue), Greenwich (98 Rescue) and Lopatcong (74 Rescue).
Did you know? The Bloomsbury Rescue Squad is one of the few EMS & Rescue Squads left in our immediate area that doesn't bill you! We are 100% all volunteer, non-profit, non-billing! We don't bill you or your insurance anything for our services and we don't have any paid employees! (Many of our neighboring Rescue Squads bill for both EMS and Rescue Services and have paid staff both in the field and doing Admin work - we accomplish all of this with Volunteers!) We rely most on the kind donations of our residents and businesses in the area we serve to cover our expenses (fuel, insurance, vehicle financing, equipment, supplies, radio communications, etc.) Please help us by donating what you can, when you can.
Our motto is, and always has been - Neighbors Helping Neighbors.
You can donate to the Bloomsbury Rescue Squad by mailing us a check to the Bloomsbury Rescue Squad, P.O. Box 22, Bloomsbury, NJ 08827 or by calling (908) 479-6221 to make arrangements.
The Squad is currently seeking the donation of a 14-18' enclosed trailer with a ramp door in the rear to haul our two ATVs and patient sled that was graciously donated to us. If you know have one that you are willing to donate, please contact us at 43Rescue@gmail.com ASAP!
We are actively recruiting new members, ages 14 and up! We accept volunteers from Bloomsbury, Bethlehem, Alexandria, Pohatcong and the immediately adjacent areas as Regular Members, volunteers from areas beyond that may qualify for our Associate Member status - contact us for more info!
Simply fill out an application online and start the process, or stop by during the day or night when you see us and we'll let you know how easily you can join! It's that simple...
