Tewksbury First Aid and Rescue Squad

Tewksbury First Aid and Rescue Squad TFARS is a volunteer organization providing pre-hospital emergency medical care and rescue services. Our ranks consist of approximately 45 unpaid volunteers.

The Tewksbury First Aid & Rescue Squad (TFARS) was established in 1990 by dedicated volunteers who served our community volunteering with other fire and first aid & rescue squads and joined together to establish TFARS. We have been providing excellence in prehospital care for over three decades. TFARS provides Basic Life Support (BLS) and various forms of rescue services. We currently have 2 BLS Units (ambulances), 2 first responder vehicles, 1 off-road rescue vehicle and 1 rescue vehicle. Since its inception, the squad has never charged a patient a single cent for the services we provide. Our annual budget is met entirely through donations and fundraising events. Our ranks also include a vibrant cadet program consisting of young women and men from the ages of 14 to 17.

When the Tewksbury Education Foundation invites us to participate in its annual STEM Night, Tewksbury Rescue responds in force. We enjoyed giving the students some hands-on experience with CPR, splinting and stop the bleeding techniques. Of course, there was some in-depth discussion of portable emergency illumination (flashlights). Thanks to the TEF for organizing a great event and to the students and other exhibitors for making it a success.

Tewksbury Rescue participated in a county-wide mass casualty drill this morning organized by the Hunterdon County Office of Emergency Management and Hunterdon Medical Center. Several EMS agencies, paramedics, OEM and hospital staff worked together to handle a simulated incident involving 20 patients with a variety of conditions. All agencies worked together seamlessly and learned a great deal.

Today we honor the brave men and women who have served our nation in the armed forces. The same sense of duty and selflessness that compels people to serve in our military also drives people to volunteer as first responders in our communities. Over the years, Tewksbury Rescue has been fortunate to have dozens of current and former military personnel among its members. Today, Rich Liebler and John Dwyer, each a United States Marine, volunteer with the Squad. We thank them, as well as all veterans, for their service to our nation and to our community.

Our Story

The Squad was established in 1990 by dedicated volunteers who were serving our community through other Fire, First Aid and Rescue Services. We have been providing excellence in prehospital care for almost three decades. Our prehospital services range from Basic Life Support (BLS) to extrication during MVA's (motor vehicle accidents) to various other forms of Rescue Services. We currently have 2 BLS Units, 1 First Responders, 1 Gator for Off Road Rescue/Transport and 1 Rescue Unit. We consist of approximately 25 active volunteers whose efforts result in 100% free service to Tewksbury Township citizens and guests. These dedicated volunteers hold various positions, participate in different committees and fulfill all of the training and continuing education required to serve the Township. Our ranks also include a vibrant Cadet program, members who are also Firefighters and members who ride with other Squads.
