Summit Volunteer First Aid Squad member Henrietta Mahon practices rescue techniques on "Rescusi Anne", a life-like mannequin used to train EMS personnel. The high-tech training mannequin was obtained through a grant from the Manley-Wisner Foundation in Summit. The new "Rescusi Annie allows our members to maintain their skills through a variety of simulated emergency situations. We are lucky to have such a valuable tool," said Kate Getzendanner, Training Lieutenant at the Summit Squad.

The First Aid Squad is an independent non-profit corporation and does not receive any tax dollars. All operations are funded through private contributions and grants.

The all volunteer First Aid Squad is always looking for new members to join its ranks. All needed training, uniforms and equipment is provided. For information, please call 908-277-9479, or visit their web site at www.summitems.org.
