The Rutherford First Aid-Ambulance Corps (RFAAC) is a volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to providing 24-hour emergency medical care services to the Borough of Rutherford, New Jersey, as well as neighboring towns. With a membership of approximately 45 volunteers, the RFAAC consists of licensed Emergency Medical Technicians trained to provide immediate pre-hospital care and transportation to local hospitals. The organization is funded solely through public contributions and provides emergency care at no charge to patients.
The RFAAC also participates in the EMT-Defibrillator program in collaboration with Hackensack University Medical Center and is a member of the 24th District of the New Jersey State First Aid Council. Prospective members are required to complete an application process, including an interview, medical physical, criminal background check, and EMT certification training. Once accepted, members undergo squad training and are expected to serve a minimum of 30 hours per month, with at least 12 hours on weekends. The RFAAC relies on donations from residents and businesses to support its life-saving efforts, as it receives no financial support from the municipal government.
