The Ship Bottom Borough Council unanimously voted to designate the Surf City Volunteer Fire Co. and EMS as its emergency medical services provider last week, ending a more than eight-decade relationship with the Beach Haven Volunteer First Aid Squad.

“We are still hammering out details with Surf City,” Ship Bottom Mayor William Huelsenbeck said the afternoon of July 3, hours after the council’s special session in which it approved the transfer of emergency medical services.
