What do we do?The Mendham First Aid Squad (MFAS) provides basic life support, emergency pre-hospital care to residents and visitors of Mendham Borough, and through mutual aid agreements, with residents of Mendham Township, Chester Borough, and Randolph Township.
When somebody calls 911 for a medical emergency within Mendham Borough, we are the ones who respond. We provide basic life support (BLS) services and provide emergency ambulance transportation to closest, most appropriate medical facility. If the illness or injury calls for more advanced treatment, we call for MICU Paramedic support. Your call to 911 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 headquarters, form a crew, and drive the ambulance to the scene. Depending on the nature and location of the call, other MFAS members may go directly to the scene in order to provide the earliest possible care. |
