Thank you for your interest in joining TVAC.
We are Teaneck's only emergency ambulance service. All our members
are volunteers, and serve without pay. We respond to over 3000 emergency
calls a year and routinely save lives and reduce suffering by rapid
response and application of Basic Life Support skills. When you
join us, you will become part of a well organized, well prepared
team that will count on you as a valued member.
To become a member, you must be at least 15½ years of age,
in good health, able to lift, and capable of physical exertion.
All members must be available to spend a minimum of 4 hours per
week on duty, in uniform, at our headquarters. No previous
training is necessary to join; however, you will be required
to become a state certified Emergency Medical Technician within
9 months of joining. We will help you obtain training
and assist you in utilizing state funds to cover the cost of your
training. You will be given plenty of supervision and assistance
to ensure that you become a competent and confident EMT.
Men and women of all races, religions, ethnic groups and sexual
orientation are invited to join. Out-of-town residents are welcome,
provided that they are available to serve their 4 hours during ONE
day shift a week any time between 7 AM and 7 PM, or are able to
sleep here one night a week between 11 PM and 7 AM.
Don't be shy; if you have any questions, or aren't sure, Email
us at info@teaneckvac.org
or call us at 201-837-2600; ask for the ambulance corps and then
ask to speak to the Captain or the Personnel Lieutenant.
