WHRS was dispatched to the area of 202 Northbound between Summer Road and Pleasant Run Road for an overturned vehicle with entrapment. BLS 2251, BLS 2254, Rescue BLS 2255 and Heavy Rescue 22-5 made the response. Due to the injuries sustained, a helicopter was requested to transport the patient.
NorthSTAR & SouthSTAR Air Medical Helicopter transported the patient to a nearby trauma center for further treatment.
The landing zone at Summer Road Park was established by Chief 32 of Readington Volunteer Fire Company and assistance on scene/at the landing zone was provided by Three Bridges Volunteer Fire Company and Readington Fire. Paramedics from Hunterdon Medical Center responded as well.
It’s hard to summarize the last year in a few photographs however as 2024 comes to an end, it’s important to recognize the hard work and dedication by our members.
In 2024 Whitehouse Rescue made over 2,550 responses. We’ve had a steady increase in calls every year for the last few years. This increased demand has required additional staffing for our duty trucks to continue the level of service we provide to the community. These images barely scratch the surface of our activities in 2024 however they’re a good sample of what our crews do on a daily basis.
In addition to helping people, we’ve helped our animal friends of all sizes from chickens up to horses.
▪️Our members have driven nearly 100,000 miles transporting patients to various hospitals.
▪️We successfully applied for the Department of Health waiver allowing our membership to administer albuterol as well as perform blood glucometry, enhancing our services to the community.
▪️We took delivery of the new Utility 22-5 and have a new UTV set to be delivered in the coming weeks.
▪️We had a historic low of reliance on mutual aid needed from neighboring towns. This is due to our increase in membership and our members dedication in responding at all hours of the day when our duty crews are already handling calls. An example of this is today, we had 4 calls for service and two additional ambulances were staffed to handle the additional calls.
▪️Collectively, our members have put in nearly 40,000 individual hours into duty time, training, standbys and other contributions to WHRS related activities.
A huge thank you to our members for making this all possible! In addition, thank you to our community and Readington Township for their support. Whether it’s contributions to our fund drive or food donations for crews who are working, it is all greatly appreciated.
As we look ahead to 2025, we are always looking for new members. Whether it’s EMS or Rescue Services, the training is free of cost, check out our website for more information!
