It’s always fun seeing unexpected friends in unexpected places. We felt a bit lost in the Bayshore until they showed up!

Good morning from our Wednesday crew! Every shift starts with a complete check of our ambulance to ensure we have all the supplies and equipment that is required on the ambulance. We start with a 360 degree walk around of the ambulance to ensure all emergency lights are operable, that all outside cabinets function and that there is no new damage or other concerns before we go on the road.

As a licensed EMS provider, the state has established requirements that we must follow, the same as any other agency in NJ, paid or volunteer. The rig check is one way we ensure we're in compliance.

In this video is one of our ambulances, BLS-16.
