Springfield First A Squad Inc

Description

The Springfield First Aid Squad provides services to the Township of Springfield which was founded in 1793 and is the oldest town in Union County, New Jersey. You should not confuse us with Springfield Township in Burlington County, which is served by Springfield Township EMS .

During the day, Monday through Wednesday, the Fire Dept. sends a First Responder-trained engine company to calls of a life-threatening nature to provide preliminary assistance during the couple of minutes it takes the Squad to respond through the busier daytime traffic. Because the First Aid Squad has personnel "in house" on Thursdays and Fridays, and because traffic is lighter weeknights and weekends, the First Responder program is not in effect during those times.

Founded on March 18, 1949, the Squad has changed with advances in emergency medical service techniques and technology; for example, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) hadn't been invented when the Squad was formed, and basic life support agencies could not use defibrillators in New Jersey until the mid 1990s. But our goal has remained the same: to provide the highest quality care to our patients.
