The OVFC Rescue Squad came into being in 1967 with the
purchase of a 1960 Pontiac ambulance. When our new
firehouse was built on Plank Road in Clarksville in 1972, the
Pontiac was replaced by a 1970 Cadillac. In 1975 an addition
was built on the Feura Bush firehouse to house the ambulance.

In the Fall of 1976 a Chevrolet modular ambulance, one of the first in the area, was
purchased and in 1987 the Chevrolet was replaced with a 1986 Ford walk-through modular
unit, New York State certified.
Currently our Rescue Squad is 25-85, a 1997 Ford chassis, F-Series Super-Duty with
Power Stroke Diesel Engine and body by and Road Rescue Body, a Type 3 ambulance.
This vehicle provides state-of-the-art life saving equipment, including an automatic
defibrillator. Rescue Squad members are fully trained in the use of the equipment.
The primary purpose of the Onesquethaw Volunteer Fire Company Inc. Rescue Squad is
to provide emergency medical services to persons in need of emergency care. To carry out
this purpose, the OVFC Rescue Squad uses training time and resources to stay up to date on
techniques in Basic Life Support Emergency Medical Care, and the use of new equipment.
