We enjoyed seeing everyone at Hunterdon County Parks Touch-a-Truck event at Deerpath Park today! Thank you to Dave’s Towing of Ringoes for donating the vehicle for us to perform an extrication demo on!

Last night around 2115 hours, Whitehouse Rescue was dispatched to a motor vehicle collision. While en route, the call was upgraded to an entrapment, adding Readington Fire and Three Bridges Fire to the response.

Upon arrival, BLS 2251 and BLS 2253 began assessing two patients entrapped in separate vehicles. BLS 2253, Heavy Rescue 225, and Squad 32 worked on stabilization and extrication of one occupant, while BLS 2251, Three Bridges Fire, and Readington Fire stabilized the second vehicle and removed the second patient.

Both patients were transported by Whitehouse Rescue with Hunterdon Health Paramedics to a local trauma center by ground. NorthSTAR was unavailable due to weather conditions.

Recently, all Readington agencies trained together on a school bus accident drill that emphasized coordination and resource management while handling multiple high-priority tasks within the same incident. That teamwork and preparation were evident during this incident.

Tonight, our crews had the incredible opportunity to reunite with Robert — a former patient who went into cardiac arrest during a soccer game at Summer Road Park back in August.

Thanks to the quick actions of bystanders and first responders, Robert regained a pulse before arriving at the hospital. His recovery is a powerful testament to the life-saving impact of teamwork, training, and CPR.

Robert and his family visited our station and generously brought food to share with the crew members who helped save his life. It was an emotional and humbling evening for everyone involved.

We also learned more about the amazing group of bystanders who jumped into action — including retired law enforcement, nurses, and even a commercial airline pilot. Their combined training and willingness to step in made all the difference. They started CPR and rescue breaths until Readington Police Officers Ramos and Donovan delivered the first AED shock.

Shortly after, Whitehouse Rescue Captain Waseleski and FF/EMT Levison arrived, continued CPR, and administered a second AED shock — that’s when Robert regained a pulse and began breathing on his own. Hunterdon County Communications and Hunterdon Health MICU also played a critical role in Robert’s care.This was an incredible team effort from start to finish.

This moment serves as a powerful reminder of how important it is to learn CPR. In an emergency, every second counts — and the actions taken in the first few minutes can truly be the difference between life and death. Whether you sign up with us or another organization, learning CPR saves lives!

We’re so grateful to see Robert doing well — and honored to have been part of his story. Pictured below is Robert, his family and everyone involved in his rescue!

This morning, Readington Township Emergency Services conducted a comprehensive large-scale training exercise at the Readington Department of Public Works. The drill brought together multiple emergency response disciplines to coordinate and execute joint operations during a mass casualty incident in two simulated large-scale incidents involving a school bus with 18 mock patients.

Scenario 1:
The first scenario simulated a collision between a school bus and a passenger vehicle. The sedan became lodged beneath the bus, resulting in significant injuries to both the entrapped driver and multiple bus occupants. Fire and Rescue units worked to stabilize the bus, disentangle the sedan, and extricate the driver, while EMS personnel triaged, treated, and transported the simulated patients from the bus.

Scenario 2:
The second scenario involved an overturned school bus on a narrow roadway, with a secondary vehicle located nearby whose driver was heavily entrapped. The overturned bus had also partially pinned a passenger. Fire and Rescue units divided personnel to address both incidents simultaneously, using specialized equipment—including a rotator provided by Superior Towing—to lift the bus and safely remove the trapped patient. EMS teams triaged, treated, and transported patients, including those unable to self-extricate.

Following each scenario, participating agencies held structured debriefings to review performance, identify strengths, and discuss areas for improvement. The exercise provided an excellent opportunity for interagency collaboration and skill enhancement among township departments.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Brian at Bagel Junction for donating bagels and Ralph at Sorella's Pizza & Pasta for providing food for all participants.

Additional thanks to:
-Civil Air Patrol Group 223 for serving as volunteer patients
-Readington Township, NJ OEM/DPW for assisting with site preparation and scenario setup
-Superior Towing & Transport LLC for their continued partnership and on-site support
-Readington Township Board of Education for their donation of the school bus

BLS 22-51, BLS 22-54 and MSU/Utility responded to an equestrian incident in the Stanton Area. Due to the nature of the injury and injuries sustained by the rider, a helicopter was requested for rapid transport to a trauma center. Whitehouse Fire Company secured the landing zone in a nearby field while WHRS and Paramedics from Hunterdon Health provided patient care. Patient care was turned over to NorthSTAR & SouthSTAR Air Medical Helicopter for transport to a local trauma center.

This week, we were honored to host the monthly drill for the Hunterdon County USAR Team (formerly HCTRTF).

A huge thank you to our dedicated community partners Superior Towing & Transport and NJ Crane Expert for lending their expertise and specialized heavy equipment to make this realistic training possible. Their support helps us prepare for the real incidents. Additionally we would like to thank Readington Department of Public Works and OEM for the use of their facilities and assistance in staging the scenarios.

Hunterdon County Urban Search & Rescue is made up of members from Flemington-Raritan First Aid and Rescue Squad, South Branch Emergency Services, Inc., Whitehouse Rescue Squad, and Hunterdon OEM. The team tackled two challenging scenarios:

Precision Heavy Lifting:
Members practiced crane hand signals, then guided a heavy load through a complex obstacle course — relying solely on hand signals to ensure flawless, safe movements. These skills are vital during real-world structural collapses and specialized extrications.

Multi-Level Entrapment Extrication:
The second station was a true test of technical rescue mastery: a school bus on top of a vehicle, trapping a bicyclist underneath with their limbs entangled. Our rescuers had to perform a delicate, multi-stage lift and stabilization to safely free the patient.

This intensive, collaborative training ensures our team is ready to respond to the highest-risk, lowest-frequency incidents anywhere in Hunterdon County.

Thank you to all the dedicated men and women who give their nights to train for these life-saving missions.

Readington, NJ – October 11, 2025 – On Saturday, October 11, emergency services across Readington Township will conduct a large-scale School Bus Extrication and Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) drill at the Readington Department of Public Works facility, coordinated and led by the Whitehouse Rescue Squad.

This full-scale exercise is designed to provide first responders with hands-on training for managing a complex bus accident involving multiple patients. A decommissioned school bus, generously donated by the Readington Township Board of Education, will serve as the training platform for the exercise.

Agencies participating in the drill include:

Whitehouse Rescue Squad

Readington Township Office of Emergency Management

Readington Township, NJ

Whitehouse Fire Company

Readington Volunteer Fire Company

Readington Township Police Department

Three Bridges Volunteer Fire Company

Superior Towing & Transport LLC

Readington Township Public Schools

“This type of training is invaluable,” said Lewis Moore, Assistant Chief of Operations of the Whitehouse Rescue Squad. “As we have previously experienced, school bus crashes present unique challenges—both in extrication and in managing a high number of patients. By training together, we ensure that our response is seamless, coordinated, and effective should such an incident ever occur in our community.”

The drill will simulate a mass casualty event, testing agency coordination, patient triage and transport, communications, and heavy rescue techniques needed for school bus extrication. This exercise also strengthens inter-agency collaboration across emergency medical services, fire suppression, law enforcement, and emergency management.

We extend our gratitude to the Readington Board of Education, Readington Township Public Works, and Superior Towing for their support in making this critical training possible.
