Premium services are what make WHRS different from other volunteer squads and private ambulance services. These services include:
• 24-7 Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
• Rescue Division
• Mass Casualty Response
• Rehabilitation Unit
• EMS Bike Team
• Member of Hunterdon County Technical Rescue Task Force
EMTs respond to 9-1-1 calls for medical emergencies. Furthermore, the Rescue and EMS Divisions respond together to motor vehicle collisions, high angle rescues, trench & confined space entrapments, swift water emergencies, and ice rescues. Rescue associates focus on the extrication of patients while EMTs attend to medical issues and patient transportation to the hospital.
Members of WHRS also respond to large-scale disasters, for example: Our water rescue crews saved lives in the flooded city of Bound Brook during Hurricane Floyd in 1999 and the Nor’easter of 2007. More than ten squad members manned the Rehabilitation Unit to support over 300 law enforcement officers in March ’07 as they searched for a run-away bank robber. And, the Mass Casualty Trailer was deployed at the World Trade Center Incident of 9-11-01.
Members of WHRS also work side-by -side with neighboring squads to train for and respond to emergency incidents in others areas of NJ as well as PA and NY.
