Home News Atlantic Highlands First Aid Needs Your Help
Is your job as rewarding as helping a neighbor?

How about saving a life?

As a volunteer of the award-winning Atlantic Highlands First Aid & Safety Squad you can do all of that and more.

The AHFAS is looking to add to its membership roster for 2010 - a roster which in the past year has been identified as the best in the state of New Jersey and in 2009 was named EMS Magazine’s Gold Award winner.

“We’re doing well, but we can do even better,” said AHFAS chief Richard Huff. “We are actively seeking Atlantic Highlands residents to join the one of the most dynamic volunteer organizations in the country.”

The Atlantic Highlands First Aid & Safety Squad is now in its 80th year of providing free, around-the-clock emergency medical and rescue services to the residents of Atlantic Highlands and occasionally the surrounding areas. The organization handles emergencies large and small, on land, water, and ice. The organization maintains a marine unit to respond to calls in the harbor. There’s also a cadet group for younger members.

No experience is necessary. Training is provided for free. The requirements are manageable. We ask that members be borough residents, 18 or older, and once aboard respond to a minimum of 10% of the annual calls, or roughly one a week.

“We are particularly in need of residents who are available during the daytime hours to respond to calls,” Huff said. “Being a member of the AHFAS is a great way for people to be part of the fabric of our community, and help each other.”

The AHFAS responds to about 500 calls a year in a borough of 4,700 people.

For information about the squad, call our non-emergency number at (732) 291-8118, log onto our website www.ahfirstaid.org or e-mail Richard Huff at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

“Being a member of the Atlantic Highlands First Aid Squad offers personal satisfaction very few jobs can match,” Huff said. “There is nothing better than helping friends and neighbors in a time of need. Become a member now; it’s a gift to yourself and the community
