The Third & Sixth District Rescue Squad separated in 1975 to become the Hollywood Volunteer Rescue Squad and the Leonardtown Volunteer Rescue Squad (LVRS).  The Squad needed a home so the membership moved into the site of the old Leonardtown Elementary School and is still at the same location today.  Soon after, the membership obtained a loan from the State to build a new larger building: three bays, day room, two offices and minimal storage.  Our meetings and training were held in one of the bays which were not good because of exhaust and noise.  The new building was completed in 1980.  In the late 80s, a generous donation was given to the Squad; one bay was taken to enclose a meeting/training room and another bay was added to maintain 3 bays.  In the 90s additional bay space was added for radio communications and storage.  The electricity, plumbing and the roof have been upgraded and repaired numerous times.  Because of the amount of and the size of medical equipment, storage is a premium.  The meeting room has gotten too small for the membership, the bunk room is not adequate, the bay area is too small to house the current fleet of 4 ambulances, utility and EMS Rapid Response vehicle (the doors when opened hit the posts or wall).

The membership wants to stay at the current location, in order to do that; we must demolish the current building and build a new one, meeting all the current standards.  We have asked for your help in the past and we need it today.  Please help us so we can continue helping you.  You can mail us a tax free donation or go to our web site www.lvrs.org and donate directly through PayPal using your credit card.

Thank you.
