We are proudly located in "America's Most Historic City" of
Fredericksburg, Virginia.
The Fredericksburg area is a classic blend of modern life & small town charm. The region boasts rolling countryside, Civil War battlefields, wineries, the pristine Rappahannock River and a charming Old Town. A 40-block national historic district embraces the city’s Old Town area and contains more than 350 buildings dating to the 18th and 19th centuries. The Fredericksburg area is referred to as the “Battleground of a Nation” as the Revolutionary War and Civil War-era heritage come alive in this area. The historic district and battlefields draw crowds of tourists to “America’s Most Historic City.”
Established in 1940, Fredericksburg Rescue Squad is a time-honored, non-profit organization supported by the city government, the Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services, and through generous donations from local citizens, businesses and groups. FRS is a member of the Rappahannock Emergency Medical Services (REMS) Council, Virginia Association of Volunteer Rescue Squads (VAVRS) and the Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services.
From our squad’s modest beginnings in 1940, when one vehicle and a handful of volunteers ran calls to the present, Fredericksburg Rescue continues to be an all volunteer organization dedicated to saving lives and serving our community!
Our dedicated volunteers are of all ages, come from all walks of life and have different levels of training ranging from drivers to EMTs and Paramedics. Many are certified in firefighting, hazardous materials operations, search & rescue, heavy rescue operations and scuba diving, just to name a few. But don’t be intimidated, no experience is necessary; we offer free training to all of our members!
We are a family-oriented squad involved in other community services, too! For example, we sponsor Blood Drives, Food Drives and Clothes Drives. Annually, we sponsor a Holiday Angel Tree and participate in St. Baldrick’s Day. We’ve partnered with the Bragg Hill Family Life Center and sponsor local Girl Scout Troop #737. We’ve also joined the “Adopt-A-Roadway” project by adopting a portion of William Street and regularly send Military Care Packages to our squad family & friends serving overseas.
Fredericksburg is conveniently located half-way between the two Civil War capitols of Washington, D. C., our nation’s capitol and Richmond, Virginia, the state’s capitol. Founded in 1728 and Incorporated in 1781, Fredericksburg is an independent city of the U.S. Commonwealth of Virginia.
Give back to your community by joining the dedicated men & women of the Fredericksburg Rescue Squad today! Again, no experience is necessary; we offer free training to all of our members!
"We are proud of our history, join our tradition today!"
