To the Editor:
The Beach Haven First Aid Squad, of which I am a member and trustee, responds to approximately 1,200 calls annually. We cover 10 of the 18 miles of LBI, and our area of coverage extends from the southern border of Surf City to Holgate.
As our squad and many other volunteer first aid squads suffer from a shrinking membership and the aging of those who continue to answer calls, our dependence on the Island’s police departments grows proportionately.
