Do you want to get out of the house, meet new people, and learn skills that could save a life? Join the Berkeley Heights Volunteer Rescue Squad and become part of a family that takes care of each other and the community. When Alyssa Hammer, NREMT, joined the BHVRS she expanded her horizons and met all different kinds of people. Learn more about why she rides!
It’s never too early to start training! Our future cadet learns the ropes with regular member Sharon Rubenstein, NREMT.
Does your child love to see lights and sirens zipping by on the street? Wave to us the next time we are speeding by. And remember the BHVRS is here for you 24/7 should you need us.
February is American Heart Month. And love is in the air at the BHVRS. Regular member Amanda Boland, EMT, ensures her skills are up to date by taking her boyfriend’s blood pressure and vital signs.
At the BHVRS, we are family. And our members’ spouses, children, significant others, and friends are family too. We love when they stop by to visit!

Roxanne Middlebrook has a message for her neighbors — you can help make a difference in our community, no matter how busy you are! She was concerned about joining the BHVRS with a demanding professional and home life. But the BHVRS made it easy to work around her schedule. Today Roxanne feels fulfilled being able to pay forward the kindness and generosity the community has shown her over the years.

The Berkeley Heights Volunteer Rescue Squad (BHVRS) will be hosting our 2nd-ever virtual Plant/Flower Sale to benefit Relay for Life, which benefits cancer patients and cancer research. Our Relay Team – BH EMS: Bringing Hope Every Minute to warriorS – will donate proceeds from the sale to Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society. Because of the funds raised, many cancer patients and their families will benefit from the progress that is being made in the areas of research toward a cure and novel treatments and therapeutics through the American Cancer Society.
