The Elberon FAS would like to extended its sincere condolences to the family of Bill Voelkel. Bill's career in EMS is known by everyone. He's done everything from being an EMS Coordinator for Monmouth County and being the Lead Instructor for Jersey Shore's EMT program. He will forever be missed!
Today IS the day!!!
Support your local squad by stopping by and getting your car washed!
Fundraising? You kidding me Elberon pays millions in taxes where is all the money?
Members practiced for our car wash this Sunday. Stop by our car wash this Sunday from 11-5. Members will wash your car for a donation.
Members practiced on our 1965 cadillac yesterday preparing it for the car show this weekend. We also conducted driver training in the cadillac and ambulance. Our ambulance will also be out and about today for driver training. If you see it, wave to it or stop by the firehouse today and speak to some of our members.

2 more pictures from National Night Out Tuesday night. Thanks Long Branch Police Department for the pictures.
Being a 100% VOLUNTEER first aid squad, We are always accepting applications for membership and donations.
Visit our website!
Over 14 members attended last nights drill where we reviewed our brand new Cardiac Science G5 AED and trainer. The new AED and trainer has been recently donated to us by a business in town after our AED had a fatal error and had to be replaced. More Information will be released about this donation soon!
After we familiarized ourselves with the new AED, members practiced their stroke assessment in a practical scenario.
We ended the night enjoying wings and loaded french fries from our friends at Jack's goal line stand.
Last night with alot of FIRST and NEWs
For the FIRST time, our squad officially attended National Night out in the The City of Long Branch, NJ. It was also the FIRST time, we had 2 ambulances at a city event and the FIRST time we handed out coloring books and crayons.
We also got to wear our NEW duty polo shirts (also a first for us) ans show off our NEW AED and trainer, both, were only made possible via donations from our supporters. Thank you! We think our members may of enjoyed the event more than our residents.
Should have brought out the Caddy
This is a photo of us standing by at Wall Stadium Saturday night.
For those who don't know, Wall Stadium is kind enough to give local volunteer squads donations who stand by at their races. We try and stand by as much as possible as we rely heavily on donations to operate our essentials. We get a stipend from the city that covers less than half of our annual expenditures and we purchase our own ambulance, response vehicle, maintenance, insurance and supplies. We also stand by because its a fun night too!
We thank the unknown photographer who posted this on the wall stadium facebook group.
Thank you for all the wonderful work that you do! Enjoy the picture.
