When a close friend was having a cardiac emergency, Jane Gallagher called 911. We were one-tenth of a mile from the Louisa Rescue Squad. That unit was already on a call. It took 20 minutes for a rescue squad to reach the scene. This prompted Jane to investigate rescue coverage for the homes along the Kentucky Springs/New Bridge Road corridor. She found over 2,300 homes outside of the 5-mile radius of any EMS station. As a registered nurse, she knew quick response times = better patient outcomes. 

In the past, fire and rescue facilities in Louisa County were built by local communities through fundraising. With this in mind, a nonprofit was established - Tthe Foundation for Lake Anna Emergency Services - and a commitment made for $100,000 of the cost of the New Bridge Rescue Station to be raised by citizens and businesses of the Lake Anna community. Louisa County included this project in the Capital Improvements Plan and appropriated $2.3M for construction. New Bridge Station 8 opened on June 1, 2023. 

However, there is still need to replace/add apparatus and other critical EMS items. Our community continues to answer the call to provide funding to fill these needs.

 The Foundation for Lake Anna Emergency Services is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) organization. This means it's a charitable organization that can accept tax-deductible contributions. 

Our IRS EIN  is 84-4326206.
