This past summer I rode for Beach Haven/Ship Bottom First Aid Squad, so not too far away from Stafford.

Speaking of jersey, has anyone read the TriData study on the state of EMS in NJ? It is available on both the health dept's website and the state first aid council's site. Any thoughts (esp from those in jersey)?

A report recently commissioned by the state regarding the state of EMS in new jersey. The report addressed quite a few of our current challenges here and offered some solutions (primarily in the way of governance.) If you're from Jersey and in EMS (whether Volunteer or Paid), you should read it.

Edit: It would help if i actually posted the link

Plainfield Rescue Squad, Union County Here.

I once was bored enough to start to read the report but, as soon as i got comfortable, i got a call so... i haven't.

But its hard to believe that i had time to become bored if any of you have ever heard of the calls in Plainfield, I bleieve that Mercy4Angles could attest to this. As their service does a S*** load of mutual aids for us.
