Serving our community since 1956
Blue Ridge Rescue Squad is a volunteer organization that has grown from humble beginnings into one of the largest rescue squads in northern New Jersey. Our volunteers respond to emergencies across more than a hundred square miles of Sussex County and provide advanced training and equipment to support our neighbors. We also support local events and the New Jersey State Fair. Our mission is powered entirely by the generosity and spirit of our community.
We are always looking for community members who are ready to step up, learn lifesaving skills and make a difference. If you have a heart for helping others, we provide all the training and support you need to become a certified EMT, driver or support member. Join a team that values camaraderie, professionalism and growth.
Saving lives and helping neighbors in their moment of need is one of the most rewarding experiences you'll ever have.
Our training programs will give you practical medical skills and experience that last a lifetime.
Develop confidence, leadership and teamwork while serving alongside dedicated volunteers.
