East Hanover VRS was founded on July 4, 1969. The rescue squad rotates several day duty crews and six nightly duty crews for "every day of the year" coverage. Our riding, junior, auxiliary, and life members are currently approching 150 members, but with the fantastic growth now being experienced by the East Hanover Community and Hanover County overall, more volunteers are needed. Our bond with the Hanover Fire/EMS Department is strong as the county runs a combination system of volunteers and paid staff. The County's information can be found on the LINKS page of this website.
It is East Hanover's intent to connect to our community by providing you information about us, who our volunteers are, where you can find us, and where you can get necessary training classes for either yourself or your company. EHVRS urges our community to check this site frequently and click on the links provided.
