Mission
To provide professional, responsive, patient-first care.
We are dedicated to being a community based, emergency medical service organization.
Vision
The Safety First Vailsburg Rescue Squad was established by a group of local residents and business owners as an all-volunteer organization who wanted to decrease the waiting time for EMS by providing pre-hospital emergency medical care.
The Vailsburg Rescue Squad has two first response vehicles, which respond to medical emergencies primarily within the West Ward of Newark, also known as the Vailsburg/Ivy Hill section. We also respond to the other wards of Newark and throughout Essex County through regional mutual aid agreements.
Our first response vehicles and the medical equipment they carry meet the requirements of the New Jersey Department of Health. The Safety First Vailsburg Rescue Squad is registered with the State of New Jersey Agency EMS Provider ID # 0751209.
