Welcome to The New Paltz Rescue Squad
The New Paltz Rescue Squad is your local
Emergency Medical Service (EMS) provider who, through contracts with the Town
and Village of New Paltz, offers 24 hour Emergency Care and Transportation of
sick and injured persons. As an Advanced Life Support (ALS) provider since
October 1987, the Rescue Squad provides Paramedic level care. Currently, the
Rescue Squad operates three (ALS) ambulances, one (BLS) auto extrication rescue vehicle and
one (ALS) emergency service vehicle (fly car). In 1973, we started service with one
van-style ambulance. Our primary geographic operating area includes the Village
and Town of New Paltz, the State University of New York at New Paltz, and a
10-mile section of the New York State Thruway. The Rescue Squad began as an
all-volunteer organization, remaining so until September 1996. Today, the New
Paltz Rescue
Squad remains with at least a 98% membership of volunteers that makes it
possible to employ two full-time Paramedics
and a business administrator.
