Bedford Squad 1, along with other rescue squads in the county, assisted in the fighting of the Montvale, VA fire by standing by to provide emergency medical services to the firefighters on scene. Crew members also performed “rehab” duties that include getting coffee, water, and food to the fire crews.

It was a very cold and blustery first few days of the blaze. The winds gusted to over 40 miles per hour and lows dipped into the teens with highs just reaching into the 30s to around 40.

The following pictures were taken by Squad 1’s 152 and 156.
