The Fredericksburg Rescue Squad was formally organized on February 5, 1940. The Kiwanis Club led by William Carper, aided in the formation of the rescue squad and helped secure a truck and equipment.

The Fredericksburg Rescue Squad serves an area of 17 square miles with a population of approximately 20,500. They currently have two stations that are manned 24 hours a day. They also have mutual aid agreements with the neighboring counties of Stafford and Spotsylvania. The Fredericksburg Rescue Squad is one of the few rescue squads in the area that offers light and heavy rescue, water rescue, and confined space rescue, in addition to providing Basic and Advance Life Support.

There are approximately 100 active volunteers involved with the Fredericksburg Rescue Squad, which means they work from 5:00PM to 6:00AM weekdays and 24 hours on the weekends. They are the first ones called for the City of Fredericksburg, southern Stafford and some of Spotsylvania. They are also there to aid many of the other stations in the area should the need arise. They have even provided assistance as far away as Orange County!
