We are incredibly grateful to the members of the EMS Council of New Jersey, who took time out of their busy schedules to come and inspect our ambulance tonight. We are also grateful to all of the squads that donated supplies to help us stock the rig and especially to South Orange Rescue Squad for allowing us to use a bay in thier building for the inspection. By the way, we passed!
