May 17-23, 2020, is the 46th annual National EMS Week.  The East Dover Fire Company has many members that are both Firefighters as well as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT). Some volunteering their time as an EMT, others working Full Time or Part Time as an EMT. No matter if they are volunteering their time or being paid for it every one of them does it because it is a true calling. A calling, a strong urge, a desire, to help others in their time of need.

Given the current crisis of COVID-19 that we are all facing, we are especially thankful for the selflessness all of the EMTs of Toms River Township show while being on the front lines. Being on the front lines during these trying times with constant guideline changes, PPE Shortages, and watching people suffer from this pandemic cannot be easy.

We always appreciate the services of the EMS community. However, we are especially grateful this year of all of our members that are also serving as emergency medical professionals. We are also extremely grateful of all emergency medical professionals that provide service to the Township of Toms River and beyond.
