ABOUT PFARS
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
Providing Emergency Medical Service is the Squad’s primary activity. All of our career and volunteer staff members are highly-trained Emergency Medical Technicians and are prepared to deliver care in a wide variety of life-threatening situations, including childbirth, allergic reactions, respiratory emergencies, traumatic injuries, and cardiac arrest. Our EMTs engage in continuing education classes and regular training sessions to ensure they are ready to serve our community with the highest quality care possible.
RESCUE OPERATIONS
The Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad specializes in a wide array of technical rescue services. Because of the complexity and risk associated with these types of operations, rescue members participate in extensive certification programs and frequent drills to maximize proficiency and to ensure patient and crew safety. Working side-by-side with our EMTs, rescue technicians utilize specialized equipment to mitigate hazards, rescue patients in distress, and provide life-saving care in medical crises.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT
The Squad plans for incidents where the potential for many patient emergencies exists. In these situations, the Squad ensures appropriate EMS coverage and patient accessibility. At crowded events, for example, Squad members may erect portable first aid and cooling stations and dispatch EMTs on foot and bicycles to ensure patients in need can be reached quickly and treated effectively. Events that require community support include sporting events, concerts, parades, and fireworks displays.
EDUCATION
At Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad, we’re committed to empowering our community with crucial lifesaving skills. We offer monthly community classes on CPR (CPR for Healthcare Providers), Narcan for Opioid Overdose, and Stop the Bleed, designed to educate and empower participants.
Our courses are more than just lessons; they are opportunities to build confidence and prepare for emergency situations. Each class is led by experienced instructors passionate about sharing practical, comprehensive knowledge in an engaging environment.
