Tri Boro First Aid Squad Inc

What Tri Boro First Aid Squad Inc does

Tri-Boro First Aid Squad Inc. is a non-profit volunteer emergency medical services organization headquartered at 51 Morse Avenue in Butler, Morris County, New Jersey, serving the communities of Butler, Bloomingdale, and Kinnelon since its founding on September 25, 1939 (originally as the Butler First Aid Squad). The organization provides 24/7 emergency medical response, ambulance transport, and first aid services through 45+ volunteer members, all of whom are New Jersey certified EMTs and first responders, supplemented by a Teen Squad (Explorer Post) program for high school students. The operational fleet comprises three ambulances (Ambulance 36, 37, and 38, with Ambulance 38 being a 4-wheel-drive unit for difficult terrain) and one support vehicle (Support 39, a 2011 Ford Expedition), all housed at the Morse Avenue headquarters built in 1970. Tri-Boro also provides standby ambulance coverage at town events such as football games and fireworks, and operates a free Equipment Loan Program that lends crutches, shower seats, commodes, and wheelchairs to community members.

The business model is non-commercial: services are provided at no charge to residents, and the organization is funded through individual, group, and corporate donations, supplemented by small annual financial contributions from each of the three municipalities. There is no pricing model and no billing for emergency services. Distribution is entirely direct and dispatch-based — the squad receives calls through the 911 system and provides mutual aid to the three towns' police and fire departments upon request. The organization maintains a Facebook page and an official website as its primary external communications channels and uses community events (parades, Health and Wellness Fairs, Safety Town, the Every 15 Minutes program at Kinnelon High School) for volunteer recruitment and community engagement.

The organization is governed by elected volunteer officers (2026 term: President Justin Hill, Vice President Amanda L, Chief Instructor Gayle Dunlap, Captain John Futcher) and is not owned by, controlled by, or affiliated with any parent company, private equity firm, or institutional investor. The historical significance of long-tenured members such as Walt Mutzenbach (joined 1967) and Helen Wyckoff (joined 1973) underscores the organization's culture of multi-decade volunteer commitment, and the 1970s merger of separate men's and women's divisions into a unified squad marks a notable organizational milestone.
