Council members used their opportunity for council comments to recognize the Mountainside volunteer rescue squad for receiving national-level recognition for pre-hospital care.
A council member noted that Senator Tom Kean visited the rescue squad and described the unit as a volunteer team that provides high-quality emergency medical service to Mountainside and neighboring towns. "The rescue squad got a fantastic award, a national award for the best pre-hospital care in the nation," the councilmember said, adding that the squad beat out larger paid agencies.
