In an ideal world, all members of a small rescue squad in Hunterdon County would be Emergency Medical Technicians, according to its chief.
That may not currently be the case, but this past year five female members of the Tewksbury First Aid & Rescue Squad passed their National Registry exams to receive their EMT certifications — bringing the organization a huge step closer towards turning this dream into a reality.
