Mission: The Branchburg Rescue Squad Inc was formed as the volunteer provider of Emergency Medical and Rescue Services to the residences, businesses & visitors to the townships of Branchburg & Readington at no cost to our patients.
Programs: Update for 2006: Multiple large scale projects began in 2005. First is a replacement of our water rescue services vehicle at a cost of $150,000. In addition an order for a new replacement Rescue Services Vehicle was placed with Rescue1, with a total expense of $500,000. This is made possible through a 10-year savings program by the Squad membership thru the generous donations we receive.
In 1998 we began a major expansion and renovation to our current building. This was completed in 2000.
Our normal operating budget exceeds $150,000 per year, with a majority of that coming from our semi-annual Fund Drive that is sent to all our coverage area every May and November.
All the funds go to providing our Services, as there are no paid staff currently employed by our organization. All officers & members are volunteers.
