About the Squad

The East Brunswick Rescue Squad is a volunteer Emergency Service dedicated to assisting the residents of East Brunswick, and surrounding towns, in their time of need. Last year we responded to more than 1,900 calls for our assistance. Keeping this in mind you can understand why we are always looking to increase our membership. If you are interested in becoming a member, please complete the application portion of the site or write to us via e-mail and someone will be in touch. The Rescue Squad provides all training; all we ask of you is your time.

We currently have about 85 members and operate four (4) ambulances from our facility located at the corners of Cranbury and Summerhill Roads. Feel free to stop in and visit if you are in the area. Any of our members would be glad to give you a tour of the building and answer any questions you might have. The minimum age requirement for our members is 16.

In addition to responding to emergency calls, the Rescue Squad is involved in various other services, which benefits our Community. Some examples are the attendance at various sporting events throughout the Township, participation in Community events and celebrations and sponsoring first aid training.

Radio Frequencies

East Brunswick Township uses a Motorola Type II UHF trunked radio system consisting of five repeater pairs in the 500MHz area. This system is used by all township services plus all South River Borough services.

We are dispatched on the frequency of 150.950 Mhz at DCS 703.

There are, as already noted, 6 different frequencies that must be monitored in order to hear our transmissions. Those frequencies are:

500.3125, 500.4375, 500.5875, 500.8375, 502.4875, 502.6625

Note that if you have an old-style scanner, you will pick up every township service on the various frequencies .. PD, Rescue Squad, the Fire Companies, Public Works, Engineering, etc. If you have a scanner that is capable of following Trunked-style radio transmissions, you can use the following Talkgroup identifiers to lock in the Rescue Squad:
