The Virginia Beach Rescue Squad Foundation has funded a retention campaign to recognize volunteers from all squads and special operations teams through advertisements in the Virginia Beach Beacon, The Virginian-Pilot’s Pulse Section and at Pilotonline.com. Many of our volunteers’ stories are also shared with local reporters and featured in our quarterly newsletter – Rescue Lines.

The Virginia Beach Rescue Squad System is made up of over 900 volunteers that together serve the community under the coordination of the City of Virginia Beach EMS Department. Each squad is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and supports its operational needs through individual fundraising efforts. Because of these volunteer efforts, pre-hospital emergency medical care in the City of Virginia Beach is free to all and contributes to over $22 million in cost savings to the City.
