The Bogota First Aid squad is an all volunteer squad located in Bergen county New Jersey. The squad was founded in 1947 and has been in continuous service since. We are municipally funded (that means taxes) although each member receives no compensation for his or her services.
Each member of the squad is dedicated to serving our community with the highest level of emergency care that we can provide. To accomplish this each member is required to take an initial training of 120 hours and refresher training of 16 hours each year while serving the community. All of this training is volunteer.
