Rescue Day at BCC Rescue Squad today

Taste of Bethesda will be getting the majority of attention in Bethesda's Woodmont Triangle today, but don't forget to stop by the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad's annual Rescue Day during the same time - 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Their station house is a short walk from Taste of Bethesda to 5020 Battery Lane.

The highlight of Rescue Day is the landing of a medevac helicopter. Meet the flight medics, and get a close-up look at the inside of the chopper. Plenty of the latest BCC Rescue Squad equipment will also be on display, as well as their vintage 1972 Cadillac ambulance, Rescue 15.

Tour the station, watch equipment demonstrations, and find out how you can volunteer with the Squad. For kids, there will be free firefighter helmets and a moon bounce, among other activities.
