About Us
Dr. Letizia DO, FACOEP; SBOR's Medical Director
Matt Letizia is a board-certified attending emergency physician that lives in Sea Bright. The 2020 season was Matt's first year on the beach and and we couldn't have been more stoked to have a front-line emergency physician in the mix. Dr. Letizia was voted as NJ's EMS physician of the year in 2018 and leads several other EMS programs in central NJ. However, there's no place like home and Dr Letizia is focused on taking our EMT program to the next level officially accepting appointment as the patrol's permanent medical director. Under the good doctor's guidance our EMT's and rescue team personnel will become even more proficiant in life threat intervention and airway management using tools like CPAP, and PEEP for respiratory emergencies and drowning resuscitation, passive high-flow oxygenation with high-quality CPR and lightening quick AED deployment for critical drowning cases. Thanks to Dr Letizia we have become a legitimate part of the NJ state EMS system and in the near future our lifeguard EMT's will be carrying medications like, narcan for drug overdoses, epinephrine and bronchodilators for anaphylaxis as well as aspirin and nitroglcerine for heart attacks. If you see Dr Letizia on patrol with our rescue team on the weekends, reach out, say hello, and meet our town's very first lifeguard medical director.
ARRT IRB Operations
SRT Truck 43-88 and IRB "Arancia"
Inflatable rescue boat (IRB) operations will be added to the Aquatic Rescue Response Team's cache of skills for 2021 . The Arancia is a 14-foot inflatable rigid hull boat made by INMAR and she is powered by a 25-hp Susuki outboard motor. Arancia is on permananent loan from Sea Bright Fire Rescue and will be used primarily for river rescue operations. We are excited to be adding this new tool to our arsenal of motorized water craft. Fun fact: The name Arancia comes from the Italian word for orange and there is little doubt that this little orange boat will save lives in the foreseeable future.
