Danville Life Saving Crew

In 1945, a group of 16 men in put together a plan to form a volunteer rescue squad and named it the Danville Life Saving and First Aid Crew, Inc. Our volunteer and career members are from all walks of life and share a common goal: to render emergency pre-hospital care to the sick and injured and perform rescue operations on a continuous basis, as needed, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The Danville Life Saving Crew began in 1945 with just 15 members. Today, the Crew has 106 members registered with the Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services who are providing pre-hospital emergency care to our community. Volunteers and career staff are prepared to respond to motor vehicle crashes, illnesses, severe injuries, water emergencies and so much more.
