As our nation marks 250 years, Memorial Day reminds us that America’s story has been shaped by generations of service, sacrifice, and courage.

Today, Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad pauses to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice protects the freedoms, communities, and neighbors we are privileged to serve.
May we remember them not only today, but in the way we care for one another every day.

We want to send a big THANK YOU to the always amazing Susan with the Great Neck Point Garden Club for helping coordinate our two-day Plant Sale Fundraiser over the last two weeks. Through sun and rain we had an amazing turn out. Additionally we want to thank our awesome volunteer team members for attending both events.
Finally, thank you to the Shore Drive Farm Market for being such a great host. We are very grateful for your support year after year.

We continue to celebrate EMS Week 2026 and highlight our volunteer team members who continue their education and sharpen their skills! These photos were taken in the Pediatric Triage Simulator. With flashing emergency lights and crying children, this program helps our medical providers focus on providing care in difficult environments.

Training never stops for our Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad members.

Several of our volunteers attended the Tidewater EMS Expo, where they had the opportunity to sharpen their skills, practice hands-on scenarios, and learn more about current trends in emergency medical services.

Whether they are responding to calls, maintaining equipment, attending classes, or practicing lifesaving skills, our volunteers are always working to provide the best possible care to our community.

We are proud of their commitment to learning, growing, and serving. Neighbors helping neighbors. Neighbors saving neighbors.
