Our highly trained career and volunteer Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) respond to more than 6,000 requests for service annually, making us one of the busiest municipal EMS agencies in Ocean County.
Our team consists of approximately 45 career employees and more than 35 volunteer members who are committed to serving our community.

Beyond emergency response, our members provide medical standby coverage for community events, support Jackson's fire districts and law enforcement agencies, participate in regional mutual aid responses, assist with disaster preparedness and emergency management operations, and deliver public education programs focused on health, safety, and emergency preparedness.
At the heart of our organization is a commitment to service. Whether responding to a cardiac arrest, traumatic injury, motor vehicle collision, pediatric emergency, or a resident in need of compassionate medical assistance, our members are dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care with professionalism, integrity, and respect.
For more than seven decades, Jackson Township First Aid Squad has remained committed to one mission: serving our community when every second matters.
