What sets us apart:
Direct Response Model
BVAC uses a "Direct Response" model, where members respond directly from their homes to the scene, rather than assembling at a station. This approach saves time and has made BVAC one of the fastest EMS agencies in the state. Each member carries a fully equipped jump kit with oxygen, AEDs, and essential medications.
Strategic Ambulance Locations
To speed up response times, BVAC stations ambulances near where members live, reducing delays in patient transport to the hospital.
We Transport Our Patients To
BVAC transports patients to local hospitals. They include Holy Name Medical Center, Englewood Health, Hackensack University Medical Center- Main Campus, Hackensack University Hospital in the Pascack Valley, Valley Hospital-Paramus, and Bergen New Bridge Medical Center. Our crews will try to honor requests for other area hospitals, although they may need to go to the nearest ER if the patient is critical, the requested hospital is on divert, or weather conditions are severe. We will also consider the time involved in returning the crew back to our borough for 9-1-1 emergencies. A medical transport out of our usual response area is not guaranteed.
"Always In Service"
BVAC is always in service, ready to respond to emergencies 24/7 with dedication, compassion, and professionalism. Our team never stops working to keep you and your loved ones safe—day or night, rain or shine.
