The Ladies Auxiliary presented an impressive $3000 check to the Rescue Squad as part of their contribution to the total squad effort. Life membership awards in the auxiliary were presented to Arbu- tus Sanford and Betty Rice. Two auxiliary awards were presented in memory of two very special, long-time auxiliary members.

A laundry truck was used as the first ambulance and a cot served as a stretcher. Today the CBRS has their own building, several ambulances- one of which is equipped with Ad- vanced Life Support equipment, 1 crash truck and 2 boats. They are manned by a dedicated group of individuals who sacrifice their time, energy, health and welfare to help others in need. Walter Parkinson Honored By The Colonial Beach Fire Department by L.
