MCVRS on standby at the MHS Homecoming game. It was a great game and a great night. We met a lot of people who are interested in what we do. Thanks to MHS for having us in the parade, it was an honor.

Our own Chris Mccue helping the Seniors get there float together, along with some help from Sheriff Easter.

Today MCVRS participated in community helper day at MES. We saw up to 150 students, kindergarten and preschool. We showed them the inside of an ambulance, gave each child a band-aid, showed off our stretcher and discovered how strong littles ones are by having them pick up our big medical backpack. We enjoyed every minute of it.

Participating was Katie Mccue, Chelsea Byington,MacKenzie Mendoza,and Kaylyn Schultz. Pictured is Katie Mccue with Ms. Trish's preschool class presenting our squad with a beautiful thank you note.

We don’t often get to celebrate moments like this one. When we do, it means the world to us to bring together a family and the many teams who came together on a nearly tragic day to save the life of 2-year-old Johnny.

Earlier this week, we shared that minutes matter. In Johnny’s case, they truly did. His grandmother, trained in CPR, started compressions right away. Dispatchers guided the response from the first call. Then came the Middlesex County Sheriff's Office, Virginia, MCVRS, and the LifeEvac team, who quickly flew Johnny to VCU. During those minutes, when everything felt like it was going wrong for the Louthen family, Johnny was in the best possible hands.

We train for moments like these, but we always hope we never face them. That’s why we encourage everyone to get CPR certified. Martha Bernard, Johnny’s grandmother, acted quickly, and that gave Johnny his best chance while first responders were on their way.

Thank you to everyone who played a part in bringing Johnny home.

"You saved my son’s life and you saved mine… God bless you all!” The family was outside playing when it was discovered 2-year-old Johnny was not in sight. https://buff.ly/fKd0fb6

A joyful ending to a moment the whole county stood still. Seconds seemed like minutes, minutes seemed like hours.

Thank you to everyone who came together that day. Middlesex County Sheriff's Office, Virginia said it best, it’s an honor to stand beside our partners in the county who always come together when things get hard. LifeEvac for always being a calm presence in the storm and coming to our aid when we need it most, and fast. We are lucky to work aside you both.

An early nor'easter has flooded low-lying roads, forcing us to reschedule our "Sing the Bay Fantastic," a benefit concert for the Middlesex County Volunteer Rescue Squad. Our new date is two weeks from now: Friday, October 9 at 7 pm. Our wonderful sea shanty singers, Janie Meneely and Rob van Sante, will regale us with song and story then. (Maybe they'll write a song about the nor'easter that flooded Fishing Bay Road!) 🌊Same great music. Same great cause. ⚓

In remembrance of 9-11, MCVRS will be lowering the flag at the Deltaville station at 8:46 AM followed by a moment of silence. As you may recall, 8:46 AM is when the first plane collided with the World Trade Center.

If you are so inclined, please join us as we remember the events of 9-11 and those whose lives were lost or irreparably changed by that day.
