JEFFERSON — The Jefferson Township Rescue Squad is kicking off the New Year with a renewed call for volunteers, inviting residents to consider a rewarding opportunity to serve as first responders in their community.
Celebrating more than 80 years of service, the Jefferson Township Rescue Squad has been 100 percent volunteer-run since 1945, providing emergency medical services around the clock. The squad is now seeking volunteers of all experience levels, including Cadets (ages 16–18), Drivers, EMTs, and Auxiliary members.
No prior experience is required. All volunteers receive training and uniforms at no cost, and the squad notes that a commitment of approximately six hours per week can make a meaningful difference in helping save lives.
“We’re looking for people who want to give back, learn new skills, and be part of a team that truly serves the community,” the squad said. “Whether you’re a student exploring a future in emergency services, a local adult looking to volunteer, or a retired police or fire professional wanting to continue serving, there is a role for you.”
Volunteering with the rescue squad offers hands-on experience, valuable training, and the opportunity to play a vital role during medical emergencies and community events throughout Jefferson Township.
Residents interested in learning more are encouraged to scan the QR code on the flyer, complete the contact form, and a squad representative will follow up to answer questions and discuss next steps.
As the New Year begins, the Jefferson Township Rescue Squad hopes more community members will step forward and join its long-standing mission of service, compassion, and lifesaving care.
