2010 Fund Drive Underway
The Atlantic Highlands First Aid & Safety Squad has kicked off its annual fund drive.
Each year, the all-volunteer organization reaches out to the community to raise funds so it can provide quality, around-the-clock emergency medical and rescue operations to our friends and neighbors.
Tax-deductible donations go directly to the purchase of medical supplies, equipment and training, all costs that increase every year. And this year, the organization will use some of those funds to purchase a new ambulance to replace one that is out-of-date and has been in service for 24 years. The cost of the new ambulance is upwards of $140,000.

Dear Friends, The Atlantic Highlands First Aid & Safety Squad is reaching out to you, our friends and neighbors, for financial help to continue to provide quality, around-the-clock emergency medical services and rescue operations. Each year, your tax-deductible donations go directly to the purchase of vital medical supplies, equipment and training. And this year, we will replace our 1986 ambulance, which, after 24 years of dedicated service, is ready to be retired. Replacing this vehicle, at a cost of upwards of $140,000, is part of our dedication to serving you, which we are proud to do around the clock, seven days a week. |
Local Area First Responders Brave Chilly Waters for Ice DrillATLANTIC HIGHLANDS – Members of the Atlantic Highlands First Aid & Safety Squad, the Atlantic Highlands Fire Department and Keyport First Aid braved bone chilling temperatures to train for emergencies on the ice.
The organizations gathered at the Atlantic Highlands municipal harbor for the drill, which took place with temperatures in the teens. "Today's drill was a success,” said Tom Hayden, AHFAS first lieutenant. “Our rescuers were able to practice in realistic conditions and new members became acquainted with the equipment and procedures.” |
