Subject: Notice of Dissolution of the Colonial Beach Rescue Squad
It is with careful consideration and sincere regret that we formally announce the dissolution of the Colonial Beach Rescue Squad, effective November 13, 2025.
This difficult decision was made by the organization’s leadership and governing board. Despite dedicated efforts by our members and supporters to maintain the CBVRS, it has become clear that we can no longer continue to operate. Because we no longer have the support from Westmoreland County, we have lost the physical and logistical means necessary to provide emergency services. Furthermore, the County has created its own auxiliary volunteer group.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all volunteers—past and present—whose service, time, and commitment have supported the people of Colonial Beach and the surrounding areas for the last 75 years. We also thank our community partners, donors, and citizens who placed their trust in us.
All equipment, assets, and records will be handled in accordance with state laws, regulatory requirements, and the organization’s bylaws.
If you have questions regarding this transition or need additional information, please contact [email protected].
Thank you for your understanding and for the many years of support for the Colonial Beach Rescue Squad.
********* The county staff will still be operating out of the Colonial Beach Station at 225 Dennison Street***********
Sincerely,
Colonial Beach Rescue
