Lincoln Park EMS

What Lincoln Park EMS does

Lincoln Park EMS (LPEMS), legally organized as Lincoln Park First Aid Squad, Inc., is a volunteer-run, New Jersey-incorporated nonprofit providing free emergency medical services to the residents and visitors of Lincoln Park, NJ. Incorporated on May 27, 1965, the organization has operated continuously for over 55 years, delivering 24/7, 365-day-a-year response coverage via 43 active volunteer members supported by 40 life members and charter members. Neither the squad nor any individual volunteer receives monetary compensation for emergency services rendered.

The service delivery infrastructure centers on state- and national-certified EMTs and a four-vehicle fleet: a Type III 2010 Ford E350 Horton Ambulance, a Type I 2019 Ford F550 Horton Ambulance, a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe PPV first-response SUV, and a Ford F350 Super Duty configured for rehab and mass casualty incident operations. The squad house at 34 Chapel Hill Rd contains five apparatus bays plus locker rooms, offices, an oxygen storage room, and supply facilities. Standard equipment includes field kits, backboards, oxygen systems, and specialized trailers. In 2023, LPEMS answered 656 emergency calls, logged 25,000 volunteer hours, and conducted 14 training events per year for continuing EMT education. Distribution is exclusively through 9-1-1 dispatch within the Lincoln Park service area, with mutual aid extended to neighboring municipalities.

LPEMS generates no revenue from service delivery. Operating cash is sourced from public donations collected through the lpfas.org website and Donorbox, annual fundraising events (vacation raffles and challenge coin sales), planned-giving bequests, and nominal medical record request fees under Federal Tax ID 22-6077436. The organization is governed by elected officers (President Sarah Siroka, Vice President Stacie Scavone, Chief Bethann Anderson, Deputy Chief Jason Meisch, Captain Katherine Bain, Lieutenant Elizabeth Golembeski, Treasurer Gary Anderson, Corresponding Secretary Carrie Niler, Trustee Cassandra Panicci) and is a member of the New Jersey State First Aid Council, which extends member benefits including discounted medical procedures at Deborah Heart and Lung Center.
