Some 31 years ago, a small group of Staten Islanders saw and felt
a need to help others. They were all somehow involved in
medicine, and they decided to start a volunteer organization
designed to provide emergency medical care to the people of
Staten Island. Thus was born the North Shore Rescue Squad Co.
No. 1, Inc. (NSRS) volunteer ambulance service. Now, we are 90+
members strong and growing. Perhaps you have seen us? We are
the red, white and blue ambulances you see on the streets of the
north shore of the island. We are your neighbors, friends and
coworkers. We have regular jobs during the day and perform
Rescue Duty at night. We are NYS Certified First Responders,
Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics who respond to
911 emergencies when an ambulance is needed. We provide first
aid, bandage wounds, splint broken bones, immobilize victims of
automobile accidents, deliver babies, perform CPR and
defibrillation and transport people to the hospital. When you are in
need, we are there, and all the work we do is at no cost to you.
WHY DO WE DO IT?
We do it to give back to the community. We are Staten Islanders
helping Staten Islanders.
NSRS Thanks you for all your support!
HOW CAN YOU HELP US?
Ambulances are expensive to operate. Bandages, oxygen,
gasoline, insurance, etc. all cost money. We exist primarily on
grants and donations. It is difficult at times, but thanks to the
generosity of the community we so proudly serve, we have made it
for 30 years! Any and all donations are not only gratefully
accepted, but are also tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed
by law.
WHAT ELSE DO WE DO?
North Shore Rescue Squad and its members also provide CPR,
First Aid and Emergency Care demonstrations/talks for all types of
groups and organizations, free of charge. For more information,
please call our squad phone at
(718) 720-4380.
