The Kent and Queen Anne's Rescue
Squad is located in historic
Chestertown on Maryland's scenic
eastern shore. From its modest
beginnings in 1961 when one
vehicle and a handful of
volunteers ran 73 calls to 2012
when our volunteers responded to
1362 calls, the Kent and Queen
Anne's Rescue Squad is the
primary ambulance organization
in Chestertown and outlying
rural areas. Volunteers are of
all ages and come from all walks
of life; most have extensive
training and experience in the
emergency medical services. Many
members are also trained in
firefighting, hazardous
materials operations, rescue
operations, dispatch, and scuba
diving. The Rescue Squad's
current fleet includes three
ALS-equipped ambulances, one
rescue truck, two boats, a
special operations trailer, an
all-terrain vehicle, two utility
vehicles, and an ALS equipped
chase vehicle. The spirit of the
Kent and Queen Anne's Rescue
Squad is alive and well in its
volunteers, who selflessly
dedicate countless hours in
service to their community. |

January 19, 2013 -
The Kent & Queen Anne's Rescue
Squad held our annual
installation dinner at the Frank
M. Jarman American Legion Post

Ceremonies. Guests enjoyed a
delicious buffet style dinner
and deserts hosted by the

Several members were presented with awards
recognizing their dedication to
the community in various aspects
of the organization. The 2013 Officers were
installed by Kent County Sheriff
John Price, who was also made an
honorary member of the Rescue

years of support to the
Rescue Squad. We were also honored
to have one of our original

while our members attended the
dinner. The upcoming year again
looks promising for the Rescue

membership, who devote countless
hours of service to the citizens
and visitors of Kent County. |
