South Berwick Emergency Rescue is the non-profit agency that provides Emergency Medical Service to the towns of South Berwick and Rollinsford. We are in need of volunteers to go through the required training to become a licensed EMT in Maine and New Hampshire. Prior medical experience is not necessary. Of course we are always welcoming those of you that are already medically trained.

There are numerous Basic Emergency Medical Technician courses in the area that will enable you to join our team in providing this needed and valuable service to our neighbors.

The Basic EMT course consists of 140 classroom hours. A course normally runs two evenings a week for twelve weeks followed by a state exam which will enable you to become licensed.

Members of our squad do make a commitment to the community and us. Members of our squad volunteer to be “on call” at least two shifts per month. You would be provided all necessary equipment and continuing education necessary to perform the functions of an EMT – at no cost to you.

Local residents that may be interested in joining us in this exciting/rewarding field will be reimbursed for all training costs upon becoming an active member of the rescue squad.

Many of the members of our team have advanced on to obtaining the levels of advanced life support technicians and some have reached the level of Paramedic. This is an excellent way to obtain the required training and experience needed to get into a new career field or as a method to be able to assist in providing a needed service to your community and family. Although we do not offer financial compensation for your service, the rewards of working on a team to help others in a time of crisis is invaluable and provides you with many rewards.
