OUR HISTORY
Through their efforts, the Rescue Squad was formed in September of 1959. A Charter from the State of Kentucky was obtained Jan. 26, 1960 under the name Middlesboro Emergency and Rescue Squad, Inc. The Rescue Squad had 12 charter members who had no funds or equipment. The first piece of equipment purchased was a one-half ton G.M.C. panel truck purchased on a time payment plan. On October 2, 1968, the Rescue Squad had its name officially changed to the Bell County Rescue Squad, Inc. Today the Rescue Squad now has an active roster of 23 members, 11 of which are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT'S), and 2 Paramedics.
