Community Bulletin Board Holmdel First Aid Squad seeks old cars, trucks

The Holmdel Volunteer First Aid Squad is seeking donations of old cars, trucks or vans that will be used to simulate a serious motor vehicle collision where individuals are entrapped.

The squad will pick up the vehicle from any location, free of charge, and donations are tax deductible. Rescuers will get hands-on training by using the Jaws of Life and other equipment to take apart and/or manipulate the vehicle to safely extricate a would-be victim. The training can only be done by practicing on real vehicles.

For more information, call (732) 946-3239.
