The Fredericksburg
Rescue Squad serves an area of 17 square miles with a population of approximately
20,500. They currently have two stations that are manned 24 hours a day.
They also have mutual aid agreements with the neighboring counties of Stafford
and Spotsylvania. The Fredericksburg Rescue Squad is one of the few rescue
squads in the area that offers
light and heavy rescue,
water rescue, and confined space rescue, in addition to providing Basic
and Advance Life Support.
There are approximately 100
active volunteers involved with the Fredericksburg Rescue Squad, which
means they work from 5:00PM to 6:00AM weekdays and 24 hours on the weekends.
They are the first ones called for the City of Fredericksburg, southern
Stafford and some of Spotsylvania. They are also there to aid many
of the other stations in the area should the need arise. They have
even provided assistance as far away as Orange County! |
