About Us

The West Milford First Aid Squad is comprised of 60 volunteer members and two buildings.

Members are all New Jersey State Certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT’s). The squad members were “grandfathered” in as EMT’s in the late 80’s and in order to maintain that certification had to take a full course in 1990. Passing the EMT test is a requirement of membership in our squad.

 WMFAS also has the distinction of being the first squad in the State of New Jersey certified to use automated external defibrillators (AED). This too happened in the early 90’s – a busy time of change and transition for EMS in NJ. 

So, today we continue to advance our skills by attending monthly training classes, participating in drills and of course responding to more and more emergency calls in the Township. As the number of calls grow, so does our need for members, especially those available during the daytime hours and in the Newfoundland coverage area.
