Ambulance Driver
MORGANVILLE FIRST AID & RESCUE SQUAD INC
MFARS is looking for volunteers to help the local community. No experience is necessary and all training will be provided at no cost. PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is available for free to all volunteers.
A common route for entry-level volunteers is to start as a Driver. Drivers are expected to drive in a safe and professional manner with due regard for the safety of the ambulance occupants, and everyone else on the road. This includes coming to a full stop at red lights and stop signs, obeying the directives of law enforcement as to vehicle positioning and maintaining a safety zone around the vehicle at all times (moving and stopped).
If you have EMS or healthcare experience (EMT, RN, etc) we would be interested in having you volunteer as an EMT, but "over qualified" drivers are always welcome.
Volunteers may also be eligible for a tuition waiver at a NJ community college. Contact us for more details.
