The members of the Lexington Park Volunteer Rescue Squad have recognized a need for a new facility. While looking for available property for this facility, Mr. Robert Gabrelcik was contacted. He worked with the department and made it possible to purchase property adjacent to the Lexington Park Library and Bay District Volunteer Fire Dept. on FDR Blvd.
Lexington Park Volunteer Rescue Squad members wanted a facility that not only met today's needs, but future needs. These needs include;larger ambulance bays to accommodate the larger apparatus, larger meeting/training areas for the more than 200 members and other departments, better housing for those running duty shifts, etc.
Lawrence Abell and Associates was contracted to design the new building. The result is on our web site. We will be sending requests for bids on construction in the near future. Our hope is to begin construction in the fall of this year.
The Lexington Park Volunteer Rescue Squad is the busiest ALL VOLUNTEER EMS Company in the state of Maryland. In 2009 the members of Lexington Park Volunteer Rescue Squad responded to 5513 calls for service, this new facility will provide the needed room for our fleet of apparatus to be housed, the required room to train a membership of over 200 and the amenities to properly house crews to be ready to respond for any type of medical emergency 24 hours a day.
