We are a volunteer-led organization staffed by professionally trained Emergency Medical Technicians who provide 24/7 emergency medical response and transportation. Our dedicated volunteers undergo rigorous training and certification to ensure every patient receives the highest standard of pre-hospital care.

Comprehensive emergency medical services for our community
Basic Life Support (BLS), scene safety assessment, patient stabilization, and rapid intervention for life-threatening conditions.
Our EMTs respond to all types of medical emergencies including cardiac events, respiratory distress, trauma, diabetic emergencies, and more. We arrive with advanced medical equipment and the expertise to stabilize and treat patients on scene before transport.
Safe, comfortable transport to local hospitals with continuous monitoring and care en route.
We transport patients to area hospitals including Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Community Medical Center, and other facilities as needed. Our ambulances are equipped with advanced life support equipment, and patients receive continuous care throughout transport.
Medical standby services for community events, sporting competitions, and public gatherings.
We provide on-site medical coverage for local events including 5K races, beach festivals, school sports events, and community celebrations. Our presence ensures immediate medical attention is available should any attendee require assistance.
Collaborative support with neighboring first aid squads and EMS agencies across the region.
We work closely with surrounding municipalities and first aid squads to provide mutual aid during high-volume periods, multi-casualty incidents, or when neighboring units require assistance. This cooperation ensures no call goes unanswered.
Preparedness and response capabilities for storms, floods, and other emergency situations.
Living in a coastal community, we maintain specialized training and equipment for hurricane preparedness, flooding response, and evacuation assistance. Our squad coordinates with local emergency management to ensure community safety during natural disasters.
CPR/AED training, first aid demonstrations, and community safety education programs.
We regularly visit schools, senior centers, and community groups to teach life-saving skills. Our education programs include CPR certification courses, AED training, stop-the-bleed workshops, and general safety awareness presentations.
Dover-Brick Beach First Aid Squad serves the community of Normandy Beach and surrounding areas along the Jersey Shore. Our response area covers both year-round residents and the significant seasonal population increase during summer months, when the beach community swells with visitors and vacationers.
Every member of our squad maintains current certifications in CPR, AED operation, and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) protocols. We conduct regular training drills, continuing education sessions, and scenario-based exercises to ensure our team is prepared for any emergency. Additionally, we're committed to educating our community through school demonstrations, senior safety talks, and public CPR/AED certification courses.
