Rowan County Rescue Squad, Inc.

06/19/2026

For 75 years, the Rowan County Rescue Squad has answered the call—providing 24-hour rescue, emergency medical care, and protection to the more than 140,000 citizens we proudly serve. To commemorate this special occasion, we've created two exclusive keepsakes—available in limited quantities:
75th Anniversary Challenge Coins — A timeless tribute to three-quarters of a century of dedicated service.
75th Anniversary T-Shirts — Wear your support proudly and help us mark this historic year.
Both items will be available for purchase beginning at the celebration on July 25. Quantities are limited, so be sure to arrive early to claim yours.
This is more than an anniversary—it's a chance to come together, reflect on decades of service, and celebrate the volunteers and supporters who make our mission possible.

Allot of history in this photo! Thank you Legeros Fire Line

Morning rescue history. Rowan County. Here's a photo showing the rolling stock of the Rowan County Rescue Squad, Inc. (who celebrate their 75th anniversary this year) as printed in the Salisbury Post on September 24, 1986.

The picture appeared in an advertisement for Whitton Distributors, promoting their support for the United Way, as well as the rescue squad. See comments for the full ad.

Lots of vintage vehicles in this well-composed picture. Local peeps and ambulance fans, what's what? And are any of these vehicles still around?
