What do we do?The Mendham First Aid Squad (MFAS) provides emergency pre-hospital care to residents and visitors of Mendham Borough, and through mutual aid agreements, with residents of Mendham Township, the Chesters, and Randolph Township.
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 First Aid Squad quarters, 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. |
