Happy National First Responders Day! 🚑🚒🚓

Today, October 28, we recognize the dedicated first responders who serve our communities every day, often putting the needs of others ahead of their own.

At the Millburn-Short Hills Volunteer First Aid Squad, we're proud to be part of a community of first responders who answer the call whenever help is needed. Our volunteers give their time, energy and expertise to care for their neighbors, working alongside our partners in fire, police and emergency services to keep our community safe.

Our recent inaugural 5K was a wonderful reminder of just how much community support means to those who serve. Seeing so many neighbors come together, visit our squad and celebrate the spirit of volunteering made the day especially meaningful.

To our fellow first responders, thank you for your dedication, compassion and commitment to serving others. And to the Millburn-Short Hills community, thank you for standing behind those who answer the call.

Happy National First Responders Day from all of us at the Millburn-Short Hills Volunteer First Aid Squad!

Members tag yourselves!

On the morning of September 11, 2001, our country was attacked.

Thousands of people who had simply gone to work that morning, pursuing their lives, supporting their families and pursuing the American dream, were murdered.

Eight Millburn Township residents were among those we lost.

Thousands more were stranded in New York City, desperate to reach their loved ones, receive treatment for their injuries, or simply find a way home. The city had become a massive triage zone.

When commuter trains began running again, people started returning home across the tri-state area. They were exhausted, shaken, injured and carrying the physical and emotional weight of what they had experienced.

Community ambulance squads, EMS agencies and first responders across the region were there to care for them as they returned home.

The Millburn-Short Hills Volunteer First Aid Squad was among them.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the eight members of our community who never came home, everyone lost that day, and all those who answered the call to help.

The Millburn Squad remains here today, ready to serve. All Volunteer, free of charge to anyone in our community.

What an amazing group of kids!

We’ve nominated H. Steven Roth for the 2026 EMS Volunteer Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by the New Jersey Department of Health’s Office of Emergency Medical Services at the National Conference on EMS.

Steve has served with the Millburn-Short Hills Volunteer First Aid Squad for more than 30 years. He has answered thousands of calls, led the organization through years of change and helped keep an independent, community-funded, 100 percent volunteer EMS service operating around the clock without billing patients.

And he still rides. Steve works a regular 12-hour shift every week, along with an additional weekend shift every two months.

As our longtime president, Steve supports his line officers, shares the institutional knowledge that keeps the Squad running and gives people room to move new ideas and community programs forward.

Steve has been missing dinners, running out in the middle of the night and dropping phone calls for more than three decades. We’re proud to put his name forward.
