Today, this amazing girl, Leah, had a lemonade stand and all of her proceeds were donated to the BHVRS! We are so appreciative of her efforts to help us! She was able to come down and present her donation to us before our business meeting and take a tour of the ambulance. Thank you so much, Leah!

This year we had three cadets graduate from high school and one regular member graduate from college! Tonight, we came together to celebrate them and all of their accomplishments. We are so proud of them and all that they have achieved!

Today, the squad was on stand by at the Berkeley Heights Street Fair. We had a great time supporting a fantastic event. It was awesome to see the community come together for such a great day!

Congratulations to all of our cadets that graduated from high school tonight and earlier this month! We are so proud of you!!

The squad had such a fun weekend this weekend!
On Saturday, we attended the Rubber Ducky Festival and painted flower pots for cancer patients with the families that attended the festival. These flower pots will be delivered to the cancer patients receiving treatment at St. Barnabas.
On Sunday, we attended Bikes for Brooke and had a blast participating in the different events going on throughout the day! We hope the community enjoyed the weekend as much as we did!

Today, members of the squad attended Community Day at Mary Kay McMillin and showed the kids what EMS is all about! They had a blast giving tours of the ambulance and showing the children some of the equipment that we used on our calls.

This morning, our cadets took a trip to the Liberty Science Center to observe a neurosurgery and interact with the neurosurgeon! Our goal is to give our cadets as many opportunities to explore different fields of medicine as we can and allow them to find what they love. Our cadets have been taking this trip for the last few years and always have a great time!

Last week, the squad joined up with the Watchung squad and participated in a training with Air One and flying patients. We are always working to better our skills and working with other squads makes that even better!

Last night the squad enjoyed the 20th annual Excellence in Emergency Services Awards Dinner held my Overlook Medical Center. We honored our first lieutenant Joe Plocinski for all of his hard work and dedication to the BHVRS. Congratulations, Joe! We are very lucky to have you!

A huge thank you to everyone who supported us and came out to celebrate EMS Week with us last week! Our plant sale was a huge success and we hope you all enjoyed community CPR! We wouldn’t be able to do our jobs without this fabulous community, so thank you to all!!
