It is FUN and EASY to become a Rescue Squad member! Our members range from 16 year old Cadets to 80 year old life members, and nearly every age in-between.

If you are age 16 or 17, then you can join our Cadet program. Cadets usually ride as "extra" members of a crew, gaining valuable experience in first aid, patient care, and interpersonal relations. As with all of our member types, we require the Cadet to be CPR certified to level C (Professional), and have either their First Aid card or their EMT (Emergency Medical Technician). We require our Cadets to ride a minimum of 12 hours per month in addition to keeping a "C" grade average or higher in school (report cards must be submitted each marking period).

If you are age 18 or over, then you can ride as either a Regular or an Associate member. Both member types carry the same certification requirements as the Cadet (CPR and First Aid or EMT). However, Regular Members must ride 36 hours per month, while Associates need only ride 24 hours per month.

We will provide all training if a prospective member doesn't already have the necessary certifications. Basic uniforms (coveralls) are also provided free of charge.

If you are an ex-squad member who has been off the rolls for at least a year, and want to help us out but either are no longer EMT certified or can't put in the required 18 hour commitment, fear not! We have a new membership category that will fulfill your needs! As long as you are CPR-C certified and have your Standard First Aid card current, you can become a "Resigned Riding" member. This category has no hours requirements and no call percentage requirement. Contact join@ebrs.org for more information or apply today.
