Please contribute to our campaign for a new EMS Rescue Boat

The old rescue boat has been retired, and our new rescue Boat 3 has arrived and is now in service.  Thank you to the generous donations of our community and supporters, we were able to obtain this valuable water rescue asset.  We are still actively collecting funds to pay off this purchase, as all funding has been from donations and fundraising events.

Boat 3 covers the warm side of Lake Anna.  The public (cold side) and the private (warm side) are divided into two separate bodies of water by three land dikes, per Dominion Power operations requirements. This separation creates a unique emergency service barrier that requires a boat on each side of the dikes.

Water emergency calls have included missing boaters, watercraft crashes, sinking boats, severe propeller injuries, dock crush injuries, falls, and drowning incidents.

Our rescue boat is centrally located in a dedicated warm-side boat slip and is deployable for rapid emergency response. 

Boat 3 has EMS equipment, a floating rescue basket, an electric bow gate, davit, infrared night camera, spot lights, and a fire pump for fire calls on the water or by the water's edge.

We are a 100% Volunteer Rescue Station and rely on your donations and support to aid us in the purchase of this essential rescue watercraft for the safety of our rapidly growing community*. 

*Lake Anna has 2,500+ waterfront and water access homes, a growth rate of 8.5%, which is ten times the national average, and welcomes over 125,000 visitors each year.
