This cache is in the newest part of New Market Pond's various park locations. It is an easy cache, great for kids. Be very careful of muggles!
This cache is in honor of the rescue squad I volunteer at as an EMT.
Arbor Rescue Squad came to be in early April 1931. On that day around noon Arbor Hose Company received a call to go to the Black Bridge (located up stream from the cache) for a drowning. This Lehigh Railroad Bridge is over New Market Pond between Washington Ave. and New Brunswick Ave. A brother (6) and sister (7) were at the center of this bridge when a train was heard coming. As they realized they could not get off in time, they jumped into the water and drowned. After much diving in the muddy water the bodies were recovered and with limited knowledge of First Aid as per Boy Scout Days, artificual respiration was given to no avail. That night at the Fire House, they made a pledge to themselves that they would have a Rescue Squad with complete knowledge of First Aid and Rescue, including the equipment to do so with.
Remember this was the time of the great depression, money was very scarce and there were no such things as First Aid Rescue Squads. Even so, that night five members formed Arbor Rescue Squad and pledged to the community they would respond to all emergency calls and provide ambulance service FREE TO ALL; render emergency aid to the sick, injuried or disabled. This promise has been kept for more than 80 year, and will continue to be kept for as long as there are members.
This squad has become a second home and family for me located at the corner of West 7th St. and Walnut St. not far from the cache. We are always looking for new members so by all means stop by or call 732-968-6458. Please enjoy this cache, it is small so bring your own pen. Please replace it where you found it, and be VERY CAREFUL OF MUGGLES!!!
Congratulations to TheSurfcaster, FTF!
Updated (12.16.10) - Please remember to completely seal the bag the log is in to prevent damage. Also the cache isn't in the water as some GPS units have been reading lately.
