On a typical Sunday morning, a woman fainted during church service. Without hesitation members of the congregation rushed to lend aid. The need for emergency care that day inspired 17 men to band together to form an Advanced First Aid Crew. From those humble beginnings, the men and women of the Vinton First Aid Crew continue to serve the town of Vinton and outlying Roanoke, Bedford, Franklin, and Botetourt counties. Our crew lives by a simple mission, “A Helping Hand for our Fellow Man”.
