The Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad thanks Bethesda Big Train for its generous support. 

Now in its 70th year, the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad is a philanthropically operated, community supported organization that provides the highest level of fire, rescue, and emergency medical service for the communities of Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and Upper Northwest Washington, D.C.

Thanks to the generous donations of the community, the efforts of 150 professionally trained volunteers, a staff of daytime employees, and 2 Montgomery County paramedics, the Rescue Squad has evolved into one of the nation's most advanced and best trained rescue squads, providing compassionate, lifesaving services to the community. The Rescue Squad does not receive regular appropriated funds from any government. Instead, the Squad raises almost all of its $2 million operating budget from individual donors, foundations, businesses, and occasional state and federal grants. The B-CC Rescue Squad is registered under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and contributions are tax-deductible as permitted by law.
