Kempsville Rescue Squad

💚🚑 The best friendships are the ones formed with people who truly understand what you're going through.

KVRS gave Emily, Hafsah, and Grace more than just the opportunity to serve their community—it brought them together as friends. Through training, shifts, and countless memories, they've built a bond that extends far beyond the station walls.

When you join KVRS, you're not just joining a rescue squad—you're becoming part of a family and creating friendships that can last a lifetime. 💚

Happy Father’s Day from Kempsville Volunteer Rescue Squad!

Today we celebrate all the dads and father figures who support, inspire, and care for those around them.

Thank you for all that you do!

🦈💚 Throwback Thursday 💚🦈

This week, we're taking it back to January 19, 2015, featuring none other than Charles!

Whether he was responding to calls, mentoring members, or finding himself in a shark-sized predicament, Charles has always been ready to bring a smile to those around him.

Thanks for the memories, Charles! We love looking back at the moments that have helped make KVRS what it is today.

After a busy day, it's always nice to take a moment to enjoy a sweet treat.

While on shift, Hafsah, Hunter, and Yohana took a break to grab some ice cream and spend time together. Whether it's responding to calls, training, or serving the community, it's the friendships and small moments in between that make volunteering so rewarding.

Because sometimes the best way to recharge is with good company and a scoop (or two) of ice cream. 🍦🚑💚

Congratulations, William!

A pretty cool sight to see during the day 🚁💙

We had the chance to watch a medical helicopter land at the hospital recently — something we definitely don’t get to see every day. It’s always impressive watching air medical crews in action and seeing another part of emergency medicine working together to care for patients.

Huge appreciation to all of our air medical partners who are always ready when patients need rapid transport and advanced care.

More than just ambulances. 🚑💚

Behind every call is a team of volunteers dedicated to serving our community 24/7, 365 days a year. From training and teamwork to late nights and lifesaving care, KVRS is built on neighbors helping neighbors.

Here’s a little sketch-style look at the heart of Kempsville Rescue Squad — the trucks, the gear, the mission, and the pride that comes with serving Virginia Beach.
