6 ALS certified ambulances

1 BLS certified ambulance

1 heavy rescue/squad truck (ALS certified - non-transport)

In November 1995, the Virginia Beach Rescue Squad, moved from 408 20th Street to 740 Virginia Beach Boulevard. This new state of the art facility provides ample room for; equipment, training, and comfortable accommodations for our members.

The Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad responds to nearly 9,000 calls each year. Approximately one-third of the calls run in the City of Virginia Beach are handled by our station.

Our training program and probationary period is one of the best and has produced some of our system's highly respected members.

The demands on our members has grown over the past years and the need for additional members has grown along with it.
