"Rescue Day" open house, October 2

Meet our EMTs, firefighters, and paramedics and see them in action. Explore our rescue trucks, ambulances, and medic units, as well as apparatus from neighboring departments. Watch a helicopter land in our parking lot and meet the flight medics. All this, and more, takes place at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad's Annual "Rescue Day" Open House, October 2, from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, rain or shine. Rescue Day is being held in conjunction with the Taste of Bethesda, the outdoor food festival held just two blocks away in Bethesda's restaurant district.

Rescue Day will feature free fire and rescue activities and displays for all ages, including tours of the station; fire and rescue trucks; live demonstrations of emergency medical, rescue, and firefighting equipment; a special visit by a helicopter; free children's firefighter hats; and a moon bounce. The B-CC Rescue Squad is located at 5020 Battery Lane, at the intersection of Old Georgetown Road and Battery Lane.
