Serving the Township of River Vale in northern Bergen County since 1957, the corps is comprised of approximately 30 volunteers- students, retirees, homemakers, corporate professionals, and more! We staff one Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance and are available to respond to emergency calls around the clock.

We never bill for our services -- they are free! As a completely volunteer organization, we rely on the generosity of the residents and visitors of River Vale during our fund drive to help us pay for supplies, ambulance upkeep, and building maintenance.

The River Vale Volunteer Ambulance Corps does not accept donations of medical equipment, nor do we loan out equipment.  However, the Washington Township Volunteer Ambulance Corps happily accepts all donations of medical equipment, and they loan out equipment to all residents in need.  If you have a donation or need to borrow medical equipment, please contact them at:
