The Morganville First Aid & Rescue Squad (MFARS) is the primary EMS response unit serving all of zip codes 07751 (Morganville), 07765 (Wickatunk), the northeast portion of 07726 including the Whittier Oaks West, Marlboro Greens and Prides Crossing Developments, and the northeast portion of 07746 including Rosemont Estates. The Marlboro and Englishtown–Manalapan First Aid Squads are the primary responders for other areas of our growing community although we occasionally cover one another. We also receive paramedic support from the Monmouth–Ocean Hospital Service Corporation (MONOC) and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH).
History
Morganville First Aid was officially incorporated on July 13, 1952 by our 12 charter members. We had one ambulance, stationed at our original building. This building was built by our members across from what is now Skip’s Garage on Tennent Road.

Vehicles
We operate three modern, fully equipped ambulances and a fully equipped first responder vehicle. With fantastic support from the township mechanics, our vehicles have an inservice percentage above 97%! Each unit has its own identifier: 28-362, 28-363, 28-364 and 28-355.
Funding
Our services are free. The squad receives a grant from Marlboro Township every year and the Township owns our building and ambulances. The Township maintains the vehicles so they are ready to respond at a moment’s notice every hour, every day. But the grant covers only about 1/4 of our operating expenses. Medical supplies, additional training, specialized equipment, maintenance and much more are funded by community donations and fundraising. For more information about donating, click here.
