Page 6 THE VILLADOM TIMES IV • October 9, 2013 Mahwah United EMS squad now welcoming new members Numerous members of Mahwah’s newly formed Mahwah Emergency Medical Services (also known as Mahwah EMS) recently attended Mahwah Day. A theme was created for the squad’s appearance this year: Mahwah EMS…One Town…One Squad. The ambulance squad, formed in July of this year, was created by members of the two, previously separate ambulance squads in Mahwah. The new organization is responding to ambulance calls for the entire township. “We are now one group of volunteers, covering the entire town. Our four ambu- lances are stationed at our two buildings, one on Franklin Turnpike and the other on Fardale Avenue,” said newly elected Chief Liz Villano. “We would like to put out a special appeal for new members, especially those people who either live or work in town (who) are currently certified as emergency medical technicians. Individuals who are 16 or older and are interested in joining Mahwah EMS, are invited to learn about the benefits and responsibilities of joining this life saving team. Education, certification, and training are provided at no cost to prospective mem- bers. For more information, call (201) 529- 9301 or (201) 327-2252 and leave a message or e-mail JoinMahwahEMS@gmail.com. Pictured: Mahwah EMS members display a banner emblazoned with the group’s theme.
