Arbor Rescue Squad

Arbor Rescue Squad This is the third oldest non-profit, volunteer rescue squad in New Jersey, and among the ten oldest Arbor Rescue Squad came to be in early April 1931.

Permanently closed.

On that day around noon Arbor Hose Company received a call to go to the Black Bridge for a drowning. This Lehigh Railroad Bridge is over New Market Pond between Washington Ave. and New Brunswick Ave. A brother (6) and sister (7) were at the center of this bridge when a train was heard coming. As they realized they could not get off in time, they jumped into the water and drowned. After much diving in the muddy water the bodies were recovered and with limited knowledge of First Aid as per Boy Scout Days, artificial respiration was given to no avail. That night at the Fire House, they made a pledge to themselves that they would have a Rescue Squad with complete knowledge of First Aid and Rescue, including the equipment to do so with. Remember this was the time of the great depression, money was very scarce and there were no such things as First Aid Rescue Squads. Even so, that night five members formed Arbor Rescue Squad and pledged to the community they would respond to all emergency calls and provide ambulance service; render emergency aid to the sick, injured or disabled. This promise was kept for 90 years.

Please be advised as of 8pm today New Jersey has invoked a travel ban between the hours of 8pm to 5am. You should not leave your houses during these hours. Emergency Services will still be available. Do not be offended if any emergency services personnel approach you wearing respiratory protective equipment or ask a few questions prior to entering your house when calling 911.

Further, gatherings of over 50 people are banned. Essential businesses such as gas and supermarkets may be open later, however will vary. Casinos, restaurants, theaters, nightclubs, gyms and schools will remain close indefinitely. Some restaurants may still offer delivery and take out options.

Please remember things can change day to day, your local and state news agencies are good resources to stay up to date. Lastly, if you have not already signed up, you should for Swift911 Alerts (Piscataway) and Nixle Alerts (some surrounding communities) for updates via Police and OEM departments. They are free and amazing ways to stay up to date on public emergencies, road closures, and events in the communities.

While out at Arbor Hose Co.'s Trunk or Treat Paramedic unit Mercy 6 stopped by to check out Car 9. Mercy 6 was the unit that responded to the Open Heart Surgery Call that happened in the back of Car 9. One of the medics even worked with Dr. Lipton who performed the surgery with a pocket knife of an Arbor EMT. This is why we are proud to be a part of the history of Piscataway and the surrounding communities. More information about this call and our history can be found on our website ArborRescue.org

We were a hit at the Trunk or Treat.
