John Robert Walker Memorial Oakland First Aid Squad. A Volunteer ambulance corps serving Oakland. Oakland First Aid Squad was founded in 1954.

Since its inception we have been providing Emergency care and transport for the residents of Oakland 24/7 free of charge. Our membership consists of your neighbors, friends, daughters, sons, moms, dads. We volunteer our time to come to your assistance in an emergency. We have our business meeting the first monday of every month and a training meeting the third monday of every month. In addition to emergency response we also provide CPR instruction to the Fire Dept and Police Dept and other organizations in town. We provide tours and first aid demonstrations to our local boy and girl scout troops. We provide mutual aid to our surrounding towns. We provide Emergency Medical Coverage during our town events such as the town carnival and the Memorial Day Parade. We provide, rehab for our Fire Dept when they are battling a fire. As volunteers we are also residents and members of this community and as such have a strong level of caring and dedication. Thank you to all who have supported us and for all continued support!

Kids are focused on candy, not cars!

With Halloween approaching, we’re reminding everyone to do their part to keep our community safe.

Drivers: Slow down, stay alert, and watch for children crossing the street.

Trick-or-treaters: Stay aware of your surroundings, use sidewalks when available, and look both ways before crossing.

A little extra caution goes a long way in preventing accidents and keeping Halloween fun for everyone.

Have a safe and happy Halloween!

We are especially proud to recognize Oakland First Aid Squad member Vikki, who served at Ground Zero in the aftermath of 9/11. Her courage, compassion, and willingness to serve during such an unimaginable time represent the very best of the EMS community.

25 years later, we remember. We honor. We will never forget.
