Verdigre Rescue Squad
For over 40 years the Verdigre Rescue Squad has provided top-quality emergency care to the community and surrounding area, as well as mutual aid to all Knox County Rescue Squads. In addition to providing medical services day and night, the Rescue Squad attends over 1,000 hours of training each year. Around 20 certified EMT’s make up this volunteer group. Their equipment includes: two rescue units, a jaws-of-life, five defibrillators, and a Can-Am Gator used for mutual aid, remote rescue, and sporting events.
They provide EMT’s for the Knox County Fair, provide transfers for Avera Creighton, sponsor the Red Cross Bloodmobile four times a year, and help organize the Knox County 911 Emergency Services System-enhanced “911”. Their support of the community also includes holding benefits for individuals in need.
