Riner Rescue Squad

== Department Profile==
The Riner Volunteer Rescue Squad is a volunteer rescue squad located in an unincorporated area of Montgomery County, Virginia known as Riner. The rescue squad operates out of one station. The squad provides mutual aid to other parts of Montgomery, as well as, Floyd and Pulaski Counties. One major roadway, VA Route 8, travels through the Riner area. The department is dispatched to more than 500 calls annually and is staffed solely by volunteers.
==History==
Prior to the rescue squad's formation, the nearby Christiansburg Rescue Squad served the Riner area. In May 2007, the Christiansburg Rescue Squad opened a sub-station in the Riner community. In 2011, volunteers operating from the Christiansburg sub-station formed the Riner Volunteer Rescue Squad and Riner based assets from the Christiansburg Rescue Squad were transferred to the new squad. In September 2020, the squad moved into its current station, which was previously occupied by the Riner Volunteer Fire Department. The squad's former station returned to use in April 2022 when the Montgomery County Fire-EMS Department placed a paramedic ambulance in-service there.
