Howell Township First Aid and Rescue Squad

The Howell Township First Aid and Rescue Squad #1 (19-21) is a Non-Profit organization that is comprised of Volunteer Members and has been serving the community since 1957. Made up of Emergency Medical Technicians and Drivers, the squad answers a variety of Emergency and non-Emergency calls. In 2019 the squad answered 2,236 first aid calls. The Members of Howell Township First Aid and Rescue Squad #1 respond to all 911 medical emergencies at homes, businesses, schools, and public places within the township. The squad also performs extrication at motor vehicle accidents, stands by with local fire companies for structure fires, and assists in special rescue assignments.

The squad always answers calls in a professional timely manner and is continuously seeking new members. While surrounding towns are closing down their volunteer services due to lack of membership, we are always trying to make our "family" grow.

We do NOT charge Township residents, but will bill their insurance to help pay for supplies, new equipment and purchasing the latest state of the art First Aid and Rescue Equipment. As a result of this, our Squad is staffed by 2 paid EMT's, 6 days a week to guarantee a faster response time. The billing also helps pay for this staffing.
