Wayne County Rescue Squad

Wayne County Rescue Squad The WCRS mission is to save lives and help protect the citizens of Wayne County, to assist other departments within the county and surrounding Counties.

The Monticello / Wayne County Rescue Squad is a private non-profit organization dedicated to serving the people of the city of Monticello & Wayne County, Kentucky. We are made up of volunteers from our service area and do not charge for our services. We are supported by donations, grants, fundraisers, and a yearly contribution from the Wayne County Fiscal Court and from the City of Monticello. Aga

in, none of our members are paid, and in fact, usually purchase most of their own equipment and pay related costs in acquiring their training.

The rescue squad has been extremely busy over the last few days: storm runs and cleanup, traffic control, emergency transports, and most recently this afternoon. We were called to retrieve a victim out of the woods who had become too weak after exploring a cave to make it up on his own. The squad responded and used ropes to get to the subject and lift him up for transport out to Wayne County EMS. We are glad it turned out as well as it did and appreciate everyone who helped and was involved in the rescue.

It has been brought to our attention that there was a report of a SCAM of somone asking for donations for EMS in the couny.

They are definitely from the Rescue Squad. We are hosting our annual picture drive and one of the citizens was a little hard of hearing and there was a miscommunication. The person with the SUV wearing the "Rescue" shirt has the permission to sell pictures and take donations for the Wayne County Rescue Squad. Thank you all and sorry for the misunderstanding.

Please stay inside and off the highways. Roads are extremely slick and we're not even sure we can make it everywhere in the county even with studded tires. Unless it's a matter of life or death don't be out after dark. Stay inside and stay safe. Don't risk it until daylight.

At approximately 8:45 last night, the squad received a page regarding a 100lb K9 that had gone over a several hundred foot bluff at the lake. While en route, we were advised that the owner of the K9 had also gone over. We utilized our Rappel team and gear to safely retrieve the owner and then the K9. We were back in service for the County by 03:00am.
