Members of the Linville-Central Volunteer Rescue Squad are more than part of a rescue squad, they are part of a well-trained, close-knit family that works together as a team. Members work together not only in emergencies, but with extracurricular activities as well, such as the North Carolina State Rescue and Medical Competitions held each year, concessions, parking, and first aid at the annual Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, and many outside training missions such as rapelling and extrication exercises. Each person is a partner to each other, and all rely on one another for backup, help, and both physical and moral support.
