Established in 1942. "Neighbors Helping Neighbors" is
our motto. The Parsippany Volunteer Ambulance was formed to help in providing
free ambulance service to the Township. The squad initially served the entire
town of Parsippany until 1952 when Fire
District 5 started the Rockaway Neck First Aid Squad; currently we serve all
areas except Lake Hiawatha section of Parsippany.
The squad house, located at 397 Parsippany Road was originally
only a two bay building. In 1975 the building was expanded to have a third bay.
In the late 80's the front bays were dug down to allow for the bigger
ambulances.
All of the members, some of who may be your neighbors, dedicate
their time to helping the community. All are certified in CPR (cardiopulmonary
resuscitation) and at a minimum, First Responder, although most are EMT
(Emergency Medical Technicians) and defibrillator certified.
Parsippany Volunteer Ambulance Squad has three fully equipped ambulances
and a 1st Responder Truck. Each of the ambulances can accommodate up to three
patients, two lying down and one sitting. The 1st Responder carries a sub-set of
the ambulance equipment can carry a patient and a member to care for the
patient. It is used to provide faster response for critical problems.
