Va. Beach Rescue Squad Volunteers Going Beyond the Call of Duty to Save Lives

Did you know that you are seven times more likely to survive cardiac arrest in Virginia Beach than in most other communities in the country? Did you know that Virginia Beach, thanks to its 10 volunteer rescue squads, has more ambulances available to respond to emergencies than all the other cities in Hampton Roads combined? Did you know in fact that on the day of the jet crash in April, 14 ambulances were on duty but within a half hour, 30 were on the scene off Birdneck Road? Those are some of the revelations in a new video produced by Rubin Communications Group for the Virginia Beach Rescue Squad Foundation. The first showing was at a legislative reception sponsored by the Foundation on August 22.

Since joining rescue 5 years ago I have learned so much and have had an opportunity to further my career and life experiences. I had no idea of how life changing signing up to be a volunteer would be and since joining my life and the lives I've impacted, have never been the same. The best decision I've made with my life thus far!
