A Legacy of Lifesaving Commitment

Established in November 1991, Newport Rescue has been a vital part of the Village of Newport and surrounding areas for over two decades. Originally a part of Giles Rescue and known as the "H" Crew, our squad emerged from a community-driven effort to create an independent rescue service.

Founding Members

To establish Newport as a village, a dedicated group of volunteers sought to form their own fire department and rescue squad. With the support of Captain Steve Davis of Giles Rescue, seven members of the former H Crew became the founding members of Newport Volunteer Rescue Squad:
