The somerville Rescue squad was founded in 1928. From the day it opened to about 1935, they were the only rescue squad in New Jersey. They answered calls as far away as Princeton. The SOmerville Rescue Squad is the 3rd oldest in the country. Now, they have about 87 members ranging from age 15-72, both male and female, on call 24 hours a day. On average they answer abour 2200 calls a year. This is an amazing number considering they are 100% seperate from the borough of Somerville.
