Volunteer Rescue Squads of Virginia Beach participate in Virginia Beach History Fest

On April 28th Rescue 14 along with many other city squads participated in the 400 Year Anniversary of the first landing of the Jamestown settlers. The oceanfront Boardwalk was filled with displays representing the rich history of many city departments and private groups.

Under heavy foggy conditions the volunteer squads positioned emergency vehicles and  display tables along a two block area of the Boardwalk. Tourist and local residents viewed 60 years of Virginia Beach-Princess Anne County Rescue/Fire service.

Rescue 14's 1970 vintage Cadillac ambulance and Rescue 16's 2007 Horton ambulance were on display and open for inspection.

The Volunteer's new Recruitment Trailer was setup and staffed.

Volunteers from eight of the ten squads were on hand to tell people of the proud history of our service.

Rescue 14's R-R Team provided free black eyes to kids and adults alike. People were waiting up to an hour in line for a free black eye.
