🚨 WHAT TO DO WHILE WAITING FOR THE AMBULANCE 🚑
In an emergency, every second counts. If you’ve called 911, those minutes before EMS arrives can feel like an eternity. Here is how you can help:
✅ Stay on the Line
Don’t hang up until the dispatcher tells you to. They can provide life-saving instructions over the phone while help is en route.
✅ Check the ABCs
Airway/Breathing: If they aren't breathing and are unresponsive, start hands-only CPR.
Bleeding: Apply firm, direct pressure to any severe wounds.
✅ Prepare the Scene
Unlock the door.
Turn on porch lights so they can find your house easily.
Put pets away in a separate room.
Clear a path by moving furniture or vehicles that might block a stretcher.
✅ Gather Info
If possible, grab the patient’s ID and a list of their medications/allergies. This is the first thing paramedics will ask for!
Stay calm. You are their first responder until the pros arrive. ❤️

Our thoughts are also with the Kit Kat company, as we join in the hunt for the 12T of missing Kit Kats. In an unrelated note, we have complimentary chocolate snacks available for anybody who wants to do a ride along this week, in honor of Easter. Just don't look in the back of our reserve ambulance. www.joinhvrs.org

When you see the lights and sirens, you’re seeing the tip of the iceberg.

What you don’t always see are the hours of training, certifications, equipment checks, meetings, compliance reporting, budgeting, IT systems, fundraising, building maintenance, recruiting, and everything in between that keeps our station running.

Our volunteers carry far more than gear — they carry the responsibility of sustaining an organization that serves this community every single day.

Some respond to emergencies.
Some build the structure that makes those responses possible.
Every role matters.

We are incredibly grateful for what they give.

And if you’ve ever considered serving your community in a meaningful way — whether through response, leadership, logistics, fundraising, technology, or support — there is a place for you here.

Randy Breton, who passed away in 2020, was a life member here at Company 17 and had an amazing impact on EMS in Loudoun. We are happy to see that his legacy still lives on.

Before the early 1990s, Ashburn operated solely as a fire station. Thanks to the dedication and vision of five volunteers from Ashburn, Sterling, and Hamilton, the EMS program was established and began serving the community.

At the Annual AVFRD Awards Banquet on February 7, we recognized Assistant Chief Dawn Kilpatrick, Chief Melvin Byrne, Robin Davis, Jim Burke, and Randy Breton. Dawn is no longer with us, but was honored for her lasting impact. Melvin, Robin, and Jim were present, and Trudy attended to accept the award on behalf of her husband, Randy.
