Welcome to the Blue Ridge Volunteer Rescue Squad

The Blue Ridge Rescue Squad is an all-volunteer Section 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing emergency medical services and transport to the citizens of Blue Ridge and surrounding localities.  The department operates out of one station that is shared with the Blue Ridge Volunteer Fire Department at 1354 Blue Ridge Springs Road, Blue Ridge, Virginia.  Located centrally to the southeastern portion of Botetourt County, the squad's primary service area extends along the U.S. 460 corridor from the Bedford County line to the Roanoke County border.  Blue Ridge also services all the neighborhoods to the south of 460 and those half-way to Troutville on Mountain Pass Road.  Many of these neighborhoods are serviced by the Troutville branch of the United States Post Office.
