History

Founded in 1966 by a small group of dedicated volunteer EMT's in Brattleboro, Vermont, Rescue Inc. has evolved into a leader in the field of rural emergency medicine. Rescue was among the first EMS agencies in the nation to offer paramedic level care and now services 12 towns in southern Vermont and 2 in southern New Hampshire with a coverage area of 500 square miles.

Rescue's staff of active EMT providers has grown to approximately forty, about half of whom donate their services. Since 1975, the agency has been incorporated as a 501 (c) 3 not for profit organization under the United States tax code.
