The Mendham First
Aid Squad (MFAS) provides volunteer emergency first aid services
to the Borough seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Borough
first aid volunteers currently answer over 500 calls a year.
When a resident
of Mendham Borough calls 9-1-1 for a medical emergency, we
are the ones who respond. We help residents with basic medical
services and provide ambulance transportation to area hospitals.
If the illness or injury is life-threatening, we call for
paramedic support.
Your call to 9-1-1
goes to the Morris County Communications Center, who dispatches
the MFAS in the case of a medical emergency. The MFAS members
meet at the firehouse, form a crew and drive the ambulance
to the scene. Depending on the nature and location of the
call, other MFAS members go directly to the scene in order
to provide the earliest possible care.
Volunteers are always
needed. If you are interested, visit us at the Firehouse from 10:00
to 11:00 a.m. on Sundays. If you are unable to come between those
hours, call and leave a message to set up a time to meet with one
of our officers. Or send us an email: info@mendhamfirstaid.org
