The Mayor and Town Council want to assure the residents and visitors of Boonton ambulance services will continue to be provided to the Town of Boonton without interruption.

Morris County Office of Emergency Management/Emergency Medical Services (EMS) will provide BLS services 6pm-6am Monday-Friday, and provide 24-hour coverage on Saturday and Sunday. Morris County EMS provides a state licensed ambulance staffed with two NJ certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs).
