Since Monday of this week, CFARS has had a presence at the 2015 Immaculate Conception Parish Festival.  Wednesday night, when the festival opened, crews where on hand to handle simple assistance to true medical emergencies.  Based out of our Incident Support Unit on the Northwest corner of the school, our members had on hand ambulances, our ASAP Off-Road all terrain ambulance, a rescue truck during fireworks on Wednesday and Sunday evenings, and many volunteers giving of their time.

In all, a total of 56 members provided 275 man hours of support to the festival over the 5 days.  21 Patients where assisted, with just 2 needing transport to the hospital from the grounds.  

Thank you to all our members who took their time to volunteer at the festival, as well as to the community members who stopped by to say hello.  

The Clinton First Aid & Rescue Squad is always looking for volunteers.  A new EMT Class will be starting in September.  For more information on volunteer opportunities, please visit http://www.clintonems.com/membership-info.html 

Round Valley Reservoir kept our water rescue team busy today. Earlier in the day a report of a boater in distress, taking on water found two canoeists whose canoe was partially submerged and they were treading water for about an hour. Both were rescued and brought to shore, being treated by our BLS crew.

The second call was for an inflatable boat in distress by the campers launch. After an hour long search of the water, this call was deemed unfounded and crews became available.

We would like to remind all boaters to have and/or wear appropriate life vests or have approved flotation devices whenever you are out on the water.

Clinton First Aid & Rescue Squad was dispatched this morning along with the Annandale Hose Company and Whitehouse Fire Company to Route 31 at Stanton Station Rd, Readington Township for the reported motor vehicle accident with injury.  First arriving units found one patient entrapped in one of the involved vehicles, and a second vehicle with minor injury.  Hunterdon Medical Center's MICU, NorthSTAR Medevac and the Flemington-Raritan First Aid & Rescue Squad also were requested to the scene.  NorthSTAR declined due to weather.  Readington Police Department is investigating.
