The Bloomfield Volunteer Emergency Squad provides the Township of Bloomfield with EMS
services during six evening shifts as well as the six major holidays. This results in a total of six
shifts a week (6 evenings) that are covered by our volunteer members, in addition to special
events, and the six major holidays.
AS stated on our home page, daytime EMS coverage is provided six days a week from 6:00
AM - 6:00 PM, Sunday from 7:00 AM - 06:00 PM, and Sunday nights from 6:00 PM - 6:00 AM
by paid personnel employed by the Squad. Eight shifts a week are covered by the paid
division.
Each of our volunteer members is assigned a permanent part of one of these six shifts. Shift
assignment is worked out between the member and the Squad such that the member is
assigned to a mutually agreeable shift. Once assigned to a shift, the member is expected to
be in quarters 15 minutes prior to the start and on duty for the duration of that 12-hour shift.
Shifts begin at 6:00 PM and conclude at 6:00 AM Monday through Friday night and begin at
6:00 PM - 7:00 AM Saturday night. Holiday coverage is decided on a lottery system.
