Lynchburg Lifesaving Crew

"Greater love hath no man than this: that he lay down his life for his brother." - The Lynchburg Life Saving and First Aid Crew, Inc., motto, 1934.

The Lynchburg Lifesaving Crew was founded in 1934 after a series of tragic events struck the community. Since then, we have been Lynchburg's only 100% volunteer Emergency Medical Service. We were the third-oldest rescue squad in America, and are proud to continue the tradition of excellence to this day. An overview of the Crew's rich history is available on our website at www.rescue9.org

We operated 2 medic units, 1 utility truck, 1 command unit, and a Disaster Response Unit from our station on Memorial Ave. in downtown Lynchburg. We operated in full integration working together with Lynchburg Fire Department, although we are separate agencies. We rely 100% on donations from concerned community members, because we do not have any outside sources of funding.
