Rescue Squad Open House in Berkeley Heights, NJ — October 2026
Berkeley Heights Volunteer Rescue Squad · 378 Snyder Avenue, Berkeley Heights, NJ 07922
According to the Berkeley Heights Volunteer Rescue Squad's official website.
The Berkeley Heights Volunteer Rescue Squad is opening its doors to people who want to volunteer, from adults to high school students.
The squad will host an Open House on Thursday, October 29, 2026, in Berkeley Heights. The adult volunteer session runs from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. A Cadet Program Information Session for high school students and their parents follows at 7:30 p.m.
During the evening, guests can meet current members, tour the squad, learn about volunteering and get a firsthand look at the training and opportunities available.
The squad's Cadet Program gives high school students hands-on experience in emergency medical services and the chance to work toward becoming emergency medical technicians, or EMTs. Cadets who are accepted will take their EMT certification course in the summer of 2027.
The program is popular. The squad says it gets more applications than spots each year, and it accepts student applications only during one limited window each year. The squad strongly encourages interested students to attend the October 29 session.
