🚑 Mountainside Rescue Squad opened its doors last week — and gave the community a meaningful look at the people behind the ambulance. From ambulance tours and first aid demonstrations to games, music, food and conversations with squad members, the Open House showcased the training, teamwork and heart behind this all-volunteer team. The outreach helps neighbors get to know the people who may one day arrive in a moment of need — so if an emergency ever happens, the face at the door may already feel familiar.
