At approximately 1415 hours, Whitehouse Rescue was dispatched to the report of an overturned vehicle with entrapment. Our staffed duty trucks arrived within minutes and began assessing the situation. One patient was critical and in need of immediate extrication. Due to the severity of the injuries, a helicopter was requested to transport the patient. Shortly after Heavy Rescue 22-5 and BLS 22-53 went responding with additional manpower. After the patient was extricated from the vehicle, our crews along with ALS from Hunterdon Medical center began treatment of the patient. Patient was subsequently transferred to NorthSTAR & SouthSTAR Air Medical Helicopter at the landing zone secured by Whitehouse Fire Company. In total, 12 of our members operated on scene.
Whitehouse Rescue responded to Union Township on Monday for the school bus involved in a crash. With over 30 patients, our ambulance responded as part of preplan for large scale incidents. Our members remained on scene for approximately 30 minutes, while two additional ambulances were staffed in Readington. ![]()

In Hunterdon County, New Jersey, a crash between a school bus and car sent several people to the hospital.
Yesterday crews put on a vehicle extrication demo at the Hunterdon County Touch-a-Truck event in Deer Path park. The vehicle was graciously donated by Dave's Ringoes Sunoco & Towing. Crews performed removal of the driver side doors for onlookers and removed the roof of the SUV. It was great practice for the crews and we were happy to see so many in attendance! 12 of our members were in attendance. ![]()
