Powhatan Volunteer Rescue Squad is an organization that serves residents and visitors of Powhatan County with 24-hour emergency medical services, at both the basic and advanced life support level.  We are the "other end" of 911 when you call for sick or injured family members, victims of accidents or motor vehicle crashes in Powhatan County, Virginia.  We work hand in hand with local fire departments and are dispatched to calls by the Powhatan County Sheriff's Department Dispatch Center.  We are neighbors volunteering to help other neighbors, friends and strangers.

Our services are provided free of charge for field treatment and transportation to an appropriate emergency medical facility in the Richmond Metropolitan area.

Our members undergo rigourous training classes on a continuing basis to ensure that the best possible patient care is rendered in sometimes the worst possible weather or other environmental conditions.  The best form of thank you is seeing one of our patients make an expedient healthy recovery from their injury or illness all as a direct result of quick field intervention.

We are also involved in the community at various events providing a visible presence, teaching methods of safety, accident provention, as well as demonstrating and showing the emergency equipment tht you, the public, have helped purchase.  Take a look at your investment in our "Apparatus Gallery".
