Glen Wilton Volunteer Fire & Rescue

==History==
The Glen Wilton Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad was a volunteer fire department located in an unincorporated area of Botetourt County, Virginia known as Glen Wilton. The department was established in 1965 and operated out of one station. In November 2023, due to lack of volunteer personnel, the department ceased providing services as a separate entity and dissolved its articles of incorporation. After dissolution, the former department became a volunteer component of the County's Department of Fire & EMS in order to continue providing services to the community. Botetourt County indicated there is no plan to assign career personnel to the station. The County stated it could not justify career staffing given the station's low call volume and proximity to career staff assigned to the nearby Eagle Rock station. Instead, resources from the station and the next due station will automatically be dispatched for calls in the Glen Wilton area."Botetourt County Board of Supervisors Minutes of January 23, 2024". https://www.botetourtva.gov/agendacenter/viewfile/minutes/_01232024-468 Botetourt County.

Prior to its dissolution, the department provided emergency medical services at a first responder level for all EMS calls in the Glen Wilton area. Previously, the department provided emergency medical services through its own ambulance or a satellite ambulance from the Eagle Rock Volunteer Rescue Squad.
