We are a diverse group of emergency medical technicians
who cover a
community that reaches from the surf of the Atlantic Ocean to the
busy lanes of the Garden State Parkway. We are your friends,
neighbors and relatives, all joined in the desire to provide
volunteer emergency medical care to a community of about
28,000 people and to the many commuters and vacationers who are just
passing through or staying for a summertime of fun.
We are also part of the ANSWER (Area Network of Shore
Water Emergency Responders) team, which provides rescue
swimmers, divers, EMTs, personal water craft and a rescue boat
for water emergencies. We receive invaluable help from the paid crew
and the volunteers of the Neptune Fire Department, which is
made up of the Hamilton, Liberty, Shark River Hills and
Unexcelled Fire Companies, and from the members of the Ocean Grove
Fire Department.
The Neptune Township Committee also provides crucial
support, especially
with the purchase and repair of equipment. When there’s a
nor’easter, blizzard, hurricane or blackout, rest assured that we’re
on duty, camped out at our headquarters or staffing emergency
evacuation shelters.
You’ll also see us at the home games of the Neptune
Township High School
Scarlet Fliers football team, at the fireworks and festivities on
Neptune Day,
and at the Neptune Invitational Soccer Tournament, which draws teams
from
several states and from overseas.
Please browse through our site and get to know the four
first aid squads
that are the core of Neptune’s emergency medical services.
