Kids of all ages enjoyed the opportunity to be enchanted by Disney’s “Aladdin” — and get out of the snowy, cold weather — when the Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International Realty office in Short Hills hosted clients and guests from throughout the area at a free screening of the Genie-centric film.

Fridays at the Millburn-Short Hills Volunteer First Aid Squad are typically easy-going. The day’s crew responds to an average of 3-4 calls throughout their 12-hour shift; seldom do they each occur at once. However, on a recent Friday, the Squad received 3 dispatches in a matter of 22 minutes.

When it comes to having a stroke, quickly recognizing the signs and symptoms and calling 911 to receive immediate medical attention are both extremely important steps to improving the odds of a successful recovery.

This is something that I learned the day that I had my stroke.

Aaron Bell was at a bit of an impasse in his life when he was introduced to the Millburn-Short Hills Volunteer First Aid Squad, and he has never looked back.

The Millburn-Short Hills First Aid Squad is a family affair for Hartshorn resident Joe Thronton. As a proponent of giving back to the community, Joe became interested in joining after hearing about it from his daughter Caroline. Caroline joined the cadets back when she was in high school and now Joe’s other daughter, Rachel, is currently a cadet.

What began as a 9-1-1 call for a medical emergency from a Summit resident in her home, evolved into an incident that sent 5 people, including 3 first responders to the hospital.

Members of the Millburn Short Hills Volunteer First Aid Squad (MSHVRAS) and members of the Millburn Police Department received special recognition on Tuesday as December 2016 was proclaimed “Lifesaver Month,” and dedicated this distinction to the to the MSHVRAS and their lifesaving efforts.
