Members of the Vinton First Aid Crew come from many different walks of life, such as working in local government, businesses, or pursuing college degrees or advanced certifications. They work closely with Roanoke County Fire & Rescue career staff to provide the highest level of care to the public. The crew takes pride in maintaining a strong relationship with both our parent and sister agencies. The crew will not hesitate to respond to emergency calls to lend support to the community in their time of need. Beyond this, the crew also participates in community outreach and standbys to ensure the community receives the safest and fastest emergency care that they may need.

All of us here at the Vinton First Aid Crew live by our powerful motto:

A Helping Hand for Our Fellow Man
