For our "old vehicle buffs" and/or "vintage TV buffs".....did you know that the famous 1970s (1972-1977) NBC-TV show "EMERGENCY" portrayed an ambulance which was more or less a clone of our 1974 FORD-MODULANCE - which we purchased for $18,000.

Johnny Gage and Roy DeSoto rode in that "Mayfair" ambulance many times - transporting patients to "Rampart General Hospital". Don't tell anyone, but our Haddonfield Ambulance Association EMTs (and drivers), back in the day, were proud and somewhat thrilled to be working in the same brand and model ambulance that their TV "heros" worked in.

Guys.....do you remember?: Kevin MacDonald, Willard Schaub, John Gargano, Dave Griffeth, Gil Cosnett, Harvey Shaw, George Cox, Scott Dodelin, Ray Abrams, Howard Frazier and our late members, (RIP): Jim Makin, Frank Stewart, Bill Perkins, Henry Bowman, Ron Richardson, Carl Abrams, Herb Jordan, Harold Dorn.

The Haddonfield Ambulance Association (HAA) is proud and honored to have Haddonfield Fire Chief Patrick Gorman (Haddon Fire Company No. 1) as our newest member of our Board of Trustees. He will serve as Director of Operations.

Chief Gorman brings his vast knowledge and experience to our organization. He has many years of experience not only with the fire service, but with EMS as well - with the operation and management of both types of organizations.

The HAA looks forward to having Chief Gorman as part of our 87 year-old organization.

Welcome Chief Gorman!

Our thanks to the Borough of Haddonfield for their appreciation and acknowledgement of our continued dedication to our fine community.
The provision of this equipment would not be possible without the generous support of our residents, businesses, and others.

Borough Receives New Safety Equipment from Haddonfield Ambulance Association
For Immediate Release---September 15, 2025

The Haddonfield Ambulance Association has purchased and outfitted the Borough’s two ambulances with new Stryker cots and hydraulic loading platforms—an equipment upgrade totaling nearly $90,000. These advanced stretchers improve patient transport and significantly reduce the risk of injury to emergency medical personnel.

The hydraulically powered cots allow EMTs to lift and load patients with the push of a button, eliminating the need for manual lifting and easing the physical demands of emergency response.

“The Borough is deeply grateful for the Haddonfield Ambulance Association’s continued dedication to our community,” said Director of Public Safety Frank Troy. “Their commitment—alongside the generosity of residents who support these efforts year after year—makes it possible to equip our EMTs with the tools they need to serve safely and effectively.”

Founded in 1938, the Haddonfield Ambulance Association is a volunteer-led nonprofit committed to providing high-quality emergency medical care, equipment, and education to our community.
