The Blue Valley Rescue Squad (BVRS) has been saving lives in our community for over 50 years. In 1973, local fire chief joined together to form the BVRS to take care of their specialty rescue needs within the Slate Belt. Today our highly trained volunteers perform vehicle rescues, ground-wilderness search and rescues, water rescues, confined-space rescues, and high-angle rescues in Washington Township, and the boroughs of Bangor, East Bangor, and Roseto. We also support our local fire companies with fire rehab when needed. On top of that, the BVRS has a Quick Response Service Unit (QRS) that assists with medical emergencies in our coverage area as well. Since we are an extension of our local fire companies, many of our members are also firefighters.
