From the Business

Specialties

The Rescue Squad is a private, non-profit organization made up of full time employees who provide ambulance services and volunteers who provide rescue services to the citizens of Buncombe County.

History

Established in 1962.

The Buncombe County Rescue Squad, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Non Profit Organization. We are not a county agency, and do not have a tax base. Our organization receives a small grant from Buncombe County and is otherwise funded by operating supplemental EMS services, fundraising and donations. Our History The Rescue Squad was founded in 1962 out of necessity. The Charter members recognized the need for a service to help the Citizens of Buncombe County. During the time of our founding, the Fire Departments primarily handled only fire. The Squad began to focus on helping people trapped in automobiles after an accident, people lost in the woods, and other situations that required specialized help.

Meet the Manager: Ryan J.

After taking over as Chief in 2009, it was felt that the Squad has moved away from its roots as a Community Agency. The Squad has re-adopted its motto from three decades ago, "Serving our Community is the Highest Honor." Employees and Volunteers are encouraged to give back to the community and help where they can, whether it be extending free EMS services, doing demonstrations at schools, or participating in fundraising events for other agencies. Chief's Mission: To educate and train individuals in order to provide our community with quality service in the areas of Intermediate Level Emergency Medical Service, Wilderness Search and Rescue, and Firefighter Rehabilitation.

I needed to get her to a bus station over an hour away from her location so she could make it back home to California. I first tried the usual ride hailing apps but found them to be unpredictable in fulfilling rides from that remote location which concerned me due to the necessity to be on schedule to make connections. I then turned to Yelp and used the "request quote" option to put the ride details out for bid. With a stroke of luck, Carolina Penn Transportation's owners Darrell & Tricia messaged me and offered a very competitive bid definitely inline with the competition. Darrell, in particular, stayed especially communicative throughout the process which gave me assurance. When the departure date arrived, Darrell again confirmed in the morning and his amazing driver, Tommy, arrived a half hour early in a very nice SUV so he could confirm the pickup location. Once confirmed, he moved to wait offsite stating to take your time and call him when ready. The ride was smooth and safe and upon arrival at the destination Tommy ensured my family member had all she needed and ensured her safety which I truly appreciated. I can't recommend this business enough and would recommend anyone who needs professional, reliable and family friendly transportation to give them a try! Thanks again Darrell and Tommy!

After terrible experiences at other facilities, Silverbell Homestead was recommended by one of her doctors. When we moved her to Silverbell we felt we finally found the perfect place for her. She was "home". The staff is amazing. We cannot say enough about the compassion, care and love they showed our mother especially in her last days. They treated her with respect. A special thanks to Sonya, Micah and Chris who are angels in our eyes. The owner and her whole staff truly care about the residents. The food was always good and prepared by a talented chef. The small number of residents makes for an intimate setting. If you are looking for an assisted living facility in the Asheville area that will truly take care of your loved one, Silverbell Homestead would always be my number one recommendation.

She also is new and learning equipment. Last time I was at this place I had to wait 30 minutes past appointment time for them to finish a party during my appointment time.
