Loudoun County Volunteer Rescue Squad

Loudoun County Volunteer Rescue Squad The Loudoun County Volunteer Rescue Squad provides 9-1-1 Emergency Services to the town of Leesburg,

In 1952, 12 community members started the first rescue squad in Loudoun County. With only a donated Ford Ranch Wagon and basic first aid training, these volunteers responded to auto accidents and other requests for medical assistance. Since then, the technologies, training, and challenges of our service have changed greatly. What has not changed, however, is our members’ absolute commitment to the

people we serve and our dedication to a simple motto – “When you need us… We are there.”

Today the Loudoun County Volunteer Rescue Squad has about 50 operational members, a dozen apparatus of various types, and a multi-million dollar facility on Catoctin Circle in Leesburg, Virginia. Working alongside our career colleagues from the Loudoun County Department of Fire and Rescue, our volunteer members contribute tens of thousands of hours a year running calls, training, doing public service, fundraising, and all the other functions necessary to operate a modern day rescue squad. Every hour of every day, we are prepared to provide not only basic medical care and emergency transport, but also advanced life support professionals, water rescue, and a wide variety of technical rescue capabilities to the people of Leesburg and the surrounding area. Our Mission:
The Loudoun County Volunteer Rescue Squad (LCVRS) is proud to serve Loudoun County with professional, award-winning delivery of emergency medical services. We are committed to provide timely, high quality, cost efficient service to all our citizens with our talented, professional staff. With the community's support, LCVRS will continue to offer innovative, technologically advanced solutions to meet and exceed the needs of our neighbors well into the new millennium.

🚨 EMERGENCY PREP: What to Do with Pets During a 9-1-1 Call 🚨When our volunteer medics answer a 9-1-1 call at your home, our single focus is providing fast, life-saving care. However, even the gentlest family pets can become highly stressed, protective, or frightened by loud sirens, flashing lights, and a team of strangers rushing through the front door. To keep both your furry family members and our responders safe, please follow these four quick steps if you are able to do so before we arrive:
Secure Your Pets: Put dogs and cats in a separate closed room, a crate, or a fenced backyard. This prevents them from slipping out the front door or getting underfoot while medics are moving heavy equipment.
Keep Them Leashed: If you cannot move your dog to another room, secure them tightly on a leash away from the patient.
Inform the Dispatcher: Tell the 9-1-1 call taker if you have animals in the house, especially if they are protective or if you are unable to secure them. They will pass this vital note directly to our responding crew.
Meet Us at the Door: If another family member is uninjured, have them meet the crew at the front door to guide us in and confirm that any animals are safely put away.
Our volunteers love animals, but a chaotic environment can make pets unpredictable. Securing them ensures our team can focus 100% of their attention on taking care of your medical emergency immediately. Save these tips, share them with your neighbors, and help us keep everyone safe! 🐕🐈🚑

Have you ever watched a TV show and they show a flat line on the monitor?
Then the actor pushes a button on a machine and they say, "We got them back!"
That's not the way it works. Check out this video and see why…

🚑 Training Tuesday: Mastering the LIFEPAK 35 🚑
It was all hands on deck for this week's Training Tuesday at Loudoun County Volunteer Rescue Squad! Our dedicated EMTs and paramedics gathered for hands-on, rigorous training with our state-of-the-art LIFEPAK 35 monitor/defibrillator. The LIFEPAK 35 is now in service!
When critical cardiac emergencies strike in our community, every single second counts. The LIFEPAK 35 brings next-level tech to our providers with its intuitive touchscreen, enhanced 15-lead ECG diagnostic capabilities, and clear real-time vital sign tracking. However, advanced medical equipment is only as powerful as the clinicians behind it. Our crew spent time running realistic scenarios, practicing rapid lead placement, reviewing critical data configurations, and ensuring our muscle memory is sharp for the field. We train hard today so we can deliver the highest standard of pre-hospital patient care when you need us most!
