On September 9, 1960, a meeting was held at the American Legion building in Northvale where the groundwork was laid for what would become the Northvale Volunteer Ambulance Corps (NVAC). Beginning with only a handful of members and a 1951 Cadillac, the NVAC made a commitment to serve their community and those nearby, faithfully and professionally. This continues today—the Corps responded to over 500 emergency calls in 2007 in Northvale, Rockleigh and surrounding communities in the Northern Valley—using two ambulances and still with small crews.

The success of the Northvale Volunteer Ambulance Corps is based on the hard work and dedication of its members, past and present. Yet, for this success to endure, new members are needed to help continue performing basic life skills to the people in our area when injury or illness occurs. If you would like to join, please contact us at 201-768-6040 or stop by the Ambulance Building located at 196 Firenze Street, any day between 7 PM and 8 PM.
