Waldwick VAC is a non-profit volunteer organization whose services are offered to the community for over fifty years.

Today, the Waldwick Volunteer Ambulance Corps saves many lives with the help from better training and more advanced equipment.

Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's) have replaced the first aiders of years past with more advanced training and knowledge of medical emergencies. EMT's are trained in CPR, oxygen therapy, vital signs, patient assessment, respiratory emergencies, airway management, allergic reactions, Military Anti Shock Trousers (MAST), pediatriac emergencies, pharmacology, health and safety of the responder, and medical ethics.

All EMT's are trained to provide Basic Life Support, which means that they deliver a set standard of care for each patient. EMT's are also trained to recognize incidents involving hazardous chemicals and other threatening incidents to help protect themselves and their patients.

There is always a need for additional volunteers, day or night. Anyone interested in helping their neighbors can call 201-445-8772 for information on how they can help. Training and uniforms are free.
