Join us! Emergency and non-emergency volunteers are needed. No experience necessary. Training is free to members! It's been a busy year for South Branch Emergency Services (SBES) so far. As of the end of June – the mid-point of 2022 - we had responded to 2,412 calls, putting us on track to surpass last year's total of 4,543 calls. This would continue an ongoing, upward trend in the number of times we are called for help. We provide emergency medical care, rescue services, or hospital transport in the Town of Clinton, Clinton Township, Lebanon Borough, High Bridge Borough, Hampton Borough, Glen Gardner Borough, and portions of Franklin, Union, Bethlehem and Tewksbury townships. Our call volume continues to grow for three main reasons: 1. More people have moved into our service area. 2. The population we serve is aging. 3. Our service area has expanded. The former Clinton First Aid & Rescue Squad and the former High Bridge Emergency Squad merged in 2020 to form SBES. Hampton Emergency Squad and SBES merged in January 2021. Note: Because South Branch – and before it existed, Clinton First Aid – provided weekday, daytime service to Hampton and High Bridge for decades, pre-merger stats already include calls from those areas. Volunteers and career staff work together to provide high-quality emergency care 24 hours a day, every day. More volunteers are needed NOW, and you could be one of them! We provide free, comprehensive training that allows members to become EMTs, rescue associates and water rescue associates. Emergency medicine and rescue not for you? No problem! Whatever your skills and talents, we need them to help run our organization!

This is unprecedented in the industry. Whereas many companies come and go very quickly, A&M continues to please thousands of customers due to their commitment to high quality workmanship, using only the highest quality materials. A&M Roofing does not cut corners. Your home is treated as if it were our own. Their skilled roofing and siding installers have years of experience in all types of material installation. They don't have a sales staff that will try to "twist your arm" into signing a contract or offering so called "sales" if you sign today. They send their trained technicians and project managers out to complete the estimate, not someone who's never stepped foot on a roof or worked on one. Contact A&M Roofing today for your free estimate by emailing: a-mroofing@ earthlink.net, or calling: 908.638.8326.
