Rescue Squad Preparing For Pair of Public Events

The Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad (5020 Battery Lane) will host a pair of events geared toward the public in the next week, including Sunday’s Oyster and Shrimp Feast and an annual open house on Oct. 6, to go along with Taste of Bethesda.

The Oyster and Shrimp Feast is Sunday, Sept. 30 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Rescue Squad’s Anastasia banquet room.

The fundraising event typically attracts around 300 Rescue Squad members, their families and Bethesda area residents.

Tickets are $40 in advance and $45 the day of the event. For more information contact the Rescue Squad at its website.

The open house, “Rescue Day 2012,” will feature a tour of the station, equipment demonstrations and the squad’s 1972 Cadillac ambulance.
