In the early morning hours of January 21, 2006 while Bloxom,Virginia volunteers were out fighting a neighborhood house fire, fire ripped through and demolished a good portion of the Bloxom Virginia Volunteer Fire & Rescue Station. President Elmer Truitt and Chief Jody Bagwell reported that both Company 6 ambulances were totally destroyed, which effectively put the company out of service to their local community.

While they have applied for grants to rebuild and insurance claims are pending, they still remain without an ambulance. Leonardtown Volunteer Rescue Squad, Company 19 had recently replaced an existing 1992 Ford, Road Rescue ambulance with a 2006 International, Road Rescue Model. The old ambulance was slated to be available for donation to any volunteer organization on the Gulf Coast area that had suffered losses from Hurricane Katrina.

When it was learned through the efforts of member Willie Watts that Bloxom was in need of an ambulance, Leonardtown President Mary Della Trossbach and Chief Dean Gass offered the 1992 unit to Bloxom. They accepted the offer, and on April 23, 2006 arrived in Leonardtown. At that time Company 6, Chief engineer Richard Buford and Engineer Kenny Taylor officially took possession of the ambulance.
