Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad

Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad Founded in 1942, OPVRS is the oldest ambulance service in the City of Virginia Beach.

We provide the highest level of emergency care to citizens and visitors of VB. The department was founded in 1942 at the request of the Ocean Park Civic League to provide fire protection. The department was staffed by volunteers of the Ocean Park Men’s Club, which later became known as the Ocean Park Volunteer Fire Department. In the 1950’s a used Army field ambulance was purchased and staffed by

the Ocean Park Women’s Club, allowing the department to provide fire and medical services to the community.

Summer has officially arrived!

Today marks the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year and the official start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Here in Virginia Beach, it means more time outdoors, trips to the beach, backyard cookouts, and making memories with family and friends.

As you enjoy the season, remember to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, seek shade during the hottest parts of the day, and keep a close eye on children and pets around water.
Whether you're spending the day on the sand, out on the water, or simply enjoying the extra daylight, we hope you have a safe and enjoyable start to summer.

Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad's volunteers will be serving our community all season long, ready to respond whenever we're needed.

Happy First Day of Summer! β˜€οΈπŸŒŠπŸš‘

Today, we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, mentors, and father figures who help guide, support, and strengthen our families and communities.

Whether you're spending the day with loved ones, remembering someone special, or answering the call to serve others, we thank the dads who lead by example through their dedication, compassion, and selflessness.

From all of us at Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad, we wish every father and father figure a happy Father's Day. Thank you for all you do, both at home and in our community.
