Help Save Lives and Add So Much to Your Own!
By Bucky Buchanan, CFARS Deputy Chief of EMS
Want to make 2018 the year you began making a huge difference in our
community and in your own life, too? Join Clinton First Aid & Rescue
Squad.
Clinton First Aid needs your help in our mission to provide rescue services
and emergency care and transit to the people who live, work and travel in the
Town of Clinton, Clinton Township, Lebanon Borough, Franklin Township
and Union Township! We respond to approximately 3,400 calls a year in the
52 square miles we cover.
Join us and we will provide the training you need to become a Emergency
Medical Technician, Rescue Associate, or Water Rescue Associate at no cost.
You will use the skills you learn to aid people in medical distress or in accidents
on our roadways or waterways. You may even help save a life.
Not 18 yet? Teens can begin hands-on training at 16 or 17 that will prepare
them to become an EMT at age 18. You will learn CPR and first aid, land and
water rescue techniques, and from the start will work side-by-side with our
crews. You can even earn high school credit for your training!
Want to make a difference without making emergency calls? It takes
many hands and many skills to run the Squad! Non-emergency members help
with administrative duties, building and fleet maintenance, fundraising, event
planning and a host of other duties. Whatever your talent, we can use it!
You will make a difference in many lives by joining, and joining will also
make a big difference in your life. As a member of our squad, you can:
• Explore a new career in the medical or emergency response fields.
• Gain communication, leadership and other skills and experience that can
help you advance in any profession.
• Show employers or college admissions officers more about the
person you are.
• Add meaning and purpose to your life.
• Forge new, life-long friendships with other Squad Members and their families
and enjoy Squad events together. We are highly skilled professionals who
take training and emergency response very seriously. But we also have a lot
of fun at Clinton First Aid & Rescue Squad!
If you're looking for a way to make difference in the lives of others
- and in your own life, too – please join us! Visit www.joinclintonems.com or
call or call 844-4-Clinton and leave a message to learn more about volunteering,
schedule a squad visit, or ask questions.

welcome.
Hope to see you there! For questions or comments,

"The object of a New Year is
not that we should have a new year.
It is that we should have a new soul
and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone,
new ears, and new eyes."
~ G.K. Chesterton
