Volunteer EMS began  in East Windsor. The original organization, "East Windsor Township Rescue Squad, Inc." was incorporated November 8, 1968. 

Twin Rivers residents met with East Windsor Rescue Squad and Hightstown First Aid Squad to form East Windsor Rescue Squad District II to cover Emergency Calls on the Eastern side of the township.

An open meeting was held at East Windsor Fire Company II. The meeting was advertised extensively and over 70 people attended. Of those 70, approximately 50 joined the new squad.

From January to April of 1974, a 5 point course was given for all new members and about 15 new members became EMT's in May of 1974.

On June 1st 1974, E.W. Rescue Squad began riding out of Triangle Publications parking lot with a rig from District I. We had 10 evening crews of 4 or 5 people. Five day crews of 4, and a total of about 70 members. We also had five babysitters to cover the day crews as most of the daytime coverage were women with small children.

In November of 1974, the East Windsor Rescue Squad District II building was completed.

January 1976, East Windsor Rescue Squad split into District I covering the western portion of the township and District II covering the eastern section.

In January 10th 1977, East Windsor Township Rescue Squad, Inc., trustees met to dissolve the the corporation and adopted a plan of liquidation and dissolution. 

Reason of dissolution: "Becasue of the rapid and unexpected growth of East Windsor Township, this corporation is being dissolved and two new corporations are being formed in order to serve the residents of the township better; each corporation will serve approximately one-half of the township's population." 

United Together! Township Emergency Services organizations stand together and protect East Windsor.

We took a pause from responding to 911 assignments and focused on community engagement, membership growth and giving back to our community. 

In 2018, District II - Twin Rivers became an active responding authorized township ambulance/rescue service again. Our agency became the primary organization and handled a large majority off all 911 assignments in the township.

August 2018 after nearly six months of planning with the municipality, District II - Twin Rivers re-opened and provided ambulance/rescue services to East Windsor Township.  Since August 2018, our membership has more than tripled and we continue to become a strong and united agency. Our volunteers dedicate tens of thousands of hours to East Windsor each year. 

At the request from the township, our agency took over ambulance services on Friday Night, Saturday Day, Saturday Night, Sunday Day and Sunday Night until Monday Morning at 5am. Services from 2014-2018 did not include volunteer service coverage during the above days/hours. This change in service was the largest addition to a single agency service hours since the early 2000s. Only our agency has continuously provided ambulance services 7 days a week since August 2018. This change removed the largest hospital system from providing those services.

Our agency stepped up to the plate and protected our community. We provided uninterrupted services by staffing ambulances around the clock. Our volunteers answered emergency assignments, both day and nights and 24/7 each weekend. Stronger Together, our agency was the busiest of the four township volunteer emergency service organizations. 

We add several electrostatic disinfectant sprayers to protect you and our volunteers! 

United Together, We are the Lifeline to the East Windsor Township Community. When you need an ambulance, we respond. More Assignments, More Members and More Community Events - We are there and We are East Windsor Strong!

We continue to provide uninterrupted services by staffing ambulances around the clock. Our volunteers answered emergency assignments, both day and nights and 24/7 each weekend. Our agency remains the busiest of the four township volunteer emergency service organizations.

In June, our 2006 Ambulance (146-1) was placed out of service. The vehicle was responding to a medical emergency when it suffered a mechanical issue rendering the ambulance from being unable to safely perform its primary purpose. The ambulance was sent to the department of public works for repair. A quote was obtained by the department of public works for  minor repairs; however the repairs did not receive municipal finanical approval. The ambulance remains out of service parked in the public works parking lot. District II only has 1 ambulance to provide emergency medical services. 

We continue to provide uninterrupted services. Our volunteers answer emergency assignments, both day and night when available. Our agency remains the busiest of the four township volunteer emergency service organizations.
