Middletown First Aid offers some things to remember when out and about in the snow today.
Last night with the storm, it was very quiet. We only had one storm-related accident with injuries that was very minor on Cooper Road. Fairview First Aid handled it. The EMS Department offers the following tips (or reminders, if you will) for people today: 1) Bundle up and dress in layers.

This time, volunteer EMS and firefighters will be on the receiving end.
When Superstorm Sandy hit, many of the township volunteers didn't hesitate to leave their own storm-wracked homes and families to help someone else in a more hazardous situation. On Saturday night at the Middletown Arts Center, a benefit concert has been planned to show the community's appreciation to them. The benefit, called "Songs and Sirens: A Benefit Concert for First Responders Affected by Sandy" aims to raise money for volunteer emergency medical service workers and firefighters in Middletown who lost their homes or property in Hurricane Sandy, said Mike Daneman, Jr. 2nd Lieutenant, Lincroft First Aid and Rescue Squad.
