New Jersey’s “incredible shrinking township” may be too small to provide ambulance service for its residents, say Shrewsbury Township officials, who have struggled to arrange for service since the last squad it used folded a year ago.
“We’re talking human life here, and it’s very frustrating, and it’s ongoing,” said Mayor Glenwood Puhak, who leads the three-member Shrewsbury Township Committee.
“The attorney’s been calling around, Tinton Falls and other areas, and we’ve been striking out,” added Puhak, 70, a retired Fort Monmouth technical writer. “I’m not a spring chicken so I may need the service myself.”
