💌 Please join us in congratulating our member, Aliyah, on receiving a ❤️ pin! When a member receives a ❤️ pin it is to recognize that they responded and assisted in an active cardiac arrest where the patient was then discharged from the hospital. Way to go! The true definition of saving lives 💚🎉
Congratulations to all!!!
Especially to our own, Hunter Gibboney! We wish the best for all the new hires! 🎉
These guys brought out our 1972 Cadillac ambulance for a little photo shoot 📸
It’s amazing to think that years ago this was a working ambulance. We still upkeep & maintain the Cadillac and it’s in ✨ pristine ✨ condition. Keep your eye out as we do bring the Cadillac to recruiting events, car shows & more! 🚑
Do you see how we pose in front of the ambulance? Very ✨mindful✨ & very ✨demure✨. We don’t do too much, we’re very mindful while we’re at the station. 💁🏼♀️
Pictured in these photos are our Chief, Richard, our Captain of Administration, Valerie, our Captain of Operations, Adam, our Deputy of Operations, Andrew and our Training Lieutenant, William. They have worked hard this 2024 year to make sure VBVRS runs well and they have been an integral part of our rescue squad. They’re very mindful, very demure and we very much appreciate that 🤗
Our thoughts and prayers are with The Virginia Beach Fire Department and Firefighter Gallinas family & friends during this hard time ❤️
It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we share with you the passing of Master Firefighter Matthew Gallina this afternoon from occupational cancer. It is truly impossible to describe the depth of Matt’s impact on our department and the tragedy of losing him far too soon.
Please keep the Gallina family and extended family in your thoughts and prayers.
More information will be shared as it becomes available.

🇺🇸Did you know that we, the Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad has their own Honor Guard?
The Honor Guard serves as the “guardians of the colors” by displaying and escorting the National, State and Unit flags on ceremonial occasions at official city- and state-sponsored Emergency Medical Services events and related functions. The team is frequently called upon to present the colors at special rescue squad functions and we consider it an honor to treat our country’s flag with the respect and dignity it deserves.
Their most solemn duty is to show honor and respect to fallen members of the city’s entire Emergency Medical Services Department, and on special occasions, serve with the Honor Guards representing the city’s police and fire departments. The Honor Guard stands vigil during the viewing service and upon request, serves as pallbearers and ushers for the funeral service. Our Honor Guard also serves as ambassadors to the public, presenting a positive image of the city’s Emergency Medical Service and volunteer rescue squad system, and assists with its recruitment effort.
The Honor Guard currently consists of a number of dedicated members under the direction of Captain Jim Obal and Commander Raymond Ford, Sr. Each member maintains his/her immaculate white uniform and is committed to serve at special short-notice events.
Service with the Honor Guard is a voluntary labor of love and respect for the Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad, our community and our nation. 🇺🇸
Update: Vehicle & children have been located. Still hoping & praying the children are okay ❤️🩹

Only 135 days until Winter, but who is counting?! We may be 😅 It's been hot here in Virginia Beach so here is a throwback to the snowstorm of February 2015.

We hope everyone enjoys the last few weeks of Summer but don't worry, were on duty no matter the season, weather or time of day!

Recently, our dedicated members, Jenni Mac, Richard Maguire & Adam Harris did an outstanding job hosting a tour and educational class for the Daisy Girl Scouts.
