Mission Statement
We are an independent 501(c)(3) EMS organization that provides free 911 emergency medical care to residents of South Orange and Maplewood NJ and the surrounding communities, including Seton Hall University.
About This Cause
The South Orange Rescue Squad has been providing safe, professional and free Emergency Medical care to the community since 1952. We provide the residents of the Village of South Orange, Township of Maplewood and surrounding communities with free, high quality, rapid, and efficient emergency medical services through the efforts of highly trained volunteers using state of the art vehicles and medical equipment. The Rescue Squad is funded solely by contributions which are 100% deductible under IRS regulations-- we receive NO taxpayer funding. We also have a cadet program, which teaches High School students about becoming EMTs and trains them to save lives. We teach First Aid and CPR to members of the community, provide free EMS standby coverage at public events, and visit schools, camps and day cares to teach children about safety and Emergency Medical Services. We save our residents approximately $1,000,000 per year in medical fees charged by for-profit EMS agencies by continuing our mission of never charging for ambulance transportation and treatment.
