New Equipment!

Drilling with our NEW loaders!

August 2021

This month the Manasquan First Aid Squad took delivery of 3 Stryker automatic cot loaders and 3 brand new XPS stretchers. This revolutionary system replaces our 15+ year old stretchers that were previously in use.

This was made possible by the generous support and donations from the residents of Manasquan and Sea Girt. This helps us do our job more efficiently while further protecting ourselves from unnecessary injury. We continue to serve you 24/7, 365 as a 100% volunteer organization.

Thank you for making this possible! We are always looking for new members!

Jetty Rescue 10/19/2015

Article from NJ.com

Police and firefighters rescued a man who fell off the end of the Manasquan Inlet jetty Monday night.

The 26-year-old victim suffered a cut to his head and possible neck and back injuries, according to Manasquan fire chief Ed Hill.  The call came in at about 7:15 pm and the rescue took more than an hour because the victim was located at the very tip of the south jetty of Manasquan Inlet, he said.

When police and firefighters arrived on scene, the man was still in the water, Hill said. Once he was rescued, first-responders stabilized him while still down on the white t-shaped rocks about a quarter mile off the beach. They then had to lift him about 15 feet from the waterline up the rocks.

“We had to stabilize the victim on the rocks,” said Nick Marino, the water rescue officer for the Manasquan Fire Department. “Once we had the victim packaged, we used a low-angle rope system to pull the stokes basket up to the platform of the jetty.”

From there, about 30 police, firefighters and first aid personnel then carried the man hand-over-hand to a waiting ambulance, which transported him to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune.
