Blue Ridge
Rescue Squad
Sussex County's most experienced volunteer emergency and first aid squad
What Makes
Us Different
The Blue Ridge Rescue Squad is a unique and dedicated volunteer organization that has been proudly serving northern Sussex County since 1956. Our commitment to our community spans over six decades, during which we've provided top-notch rescue and first aid services to the towns of Frankford, Branchville, Sandyston, Montague, and Walpack. Covering an extensive area of over 124 square miles, we are the most extensive volunteer rescue squad in northern New Jersey.
Our distinction lies not only in our broad coverage but also in our unwavering dedication to our mission. We are an all-volunteer squad, which means every
member of our team is driven by a passion for helping others and making a difference in our community. This dedication to volunteer service cultivates strong bonds and a shared sense of purpose among our team, distinguishing us from other rescue organizations.
We are also proud to be the only rescue squad entrusted with covering the largest event in Sussex County—the New Jersey State Fair and Sussex County Farm and Horse Show. This responsibility underscores our reliability, expertise, and the trust our community places in us.
