Founded in 1958, Bay Shore Brightwaters Rescue Ambulance (BSBRA) is a volunteer non-profit organization that provides Emergency Medical Service to the communities of Bay Shore, Brightwaters and West Bay Shore. Our district is 25 square miles and has several points of interest including all major highways, Southside Hospital, Bay Shore Schools and the Bay Shore Fire District. BSBRA is separate from Bay Shore Fire Department and provides all medical care/ rehabilitation care for all fire scenes.
BSBRA responds to approximately 4,000 calls a year for emergency medical assistance. Currently, we have a volunteer membership of roughly 175 members, with certifications ranging from Dispatcher to Paramedic. Since January 2010, we are proud to offer 24/7 ALS coverage to our community.
