Keyport First aid squad 22-21


about us

 The primary purpose of our Squad is to provide high-quality emergency medical attention and transport to you and the surrounding communities. Thanks to your generosity year after year we are able to provide these services to you free of charge. In 2022 we were able to answer over 1400 emergency calls free of charge to anyone that calls. In fact 95% of emergency calls were in Keyport alone.  We pride ourselves in obtaining the newest equipment such as an automatic CPR devices to better perform CPR in the field without any injury or fatigue on the EMT’s. In addition to answering emergencies in the ambulances we house an off-road capable vehicle for the Henry Hudson trail and beach operations. Another service we provide is water rescue. We store a 18ft flat bottom boat ready at all times for near shore rescues in shallow waters. For the winter months we have trained volunteers certified in Ice Water Rescue operations.

 The Keyport First Aid doesn’t just answer emergencies in the borough, we do event stand-bys in town and all over the state. We are asked by the Monmouth County Sheriff's office to staff multiple events around the county to supplement other towns' large events. Emergency Medical Services is an important role in planning for major events. We are able to staff the town with ambulances and these events with the volunteers that receive the training they receive for FREE. The Squad starts training these volunteers (Cadets) as young as 16 years old becoming certified EMT’s to supplement the adults.

 The Keyport First Aid is also affiliated with the New Jersey EMS Task Force which supplies equipment to various Squads around the state. We have 1 of 2 Medical Ambulance Buses in Monmouth County. The “MAB” responds to structure fires, nursing home’s and other large scale events for evacuations and rehab. This organization responds all over the state providing free EMS services for large scale incidents.
