Cary Rescue Squad was formed because in the summer of 1971 a 4 year old boy was struck by a furniture truck and died in the street after waiting 45 minutes for an ambulance to respond from Raleigh. The first meeting of the steering committee was September 19, 1971. At this meeting, the charter members agreed that the rescue squad should not be a part of YRAC fire department and a week later they had a meeting with Fred Bond, Mayor of Cary, to discuss funding.
The founding members of Cary Rescue Squad were:
John Owen
Jerry Adams
Jackie Hunter
Howard Finch
Joe Hodges
Benny Rideout
Billy Henderson
The founding members developed seven principles to help guide in the formation of Cary Rescue Squad. They were:
The Squad would be autonomous.
Start with fully trained personnel – “advanced first-aid” at the time.
Project a professional image.
Require all members to pull duty from the station.
Use pagers instead of a siren to alert members of a call.
Start with new equipment.
Not raise funds through the use of BBQ’s or similar events.
The first call for Cary Rescue Squad occurred on August 18, 1972 at 9:20 pm at Yates Place (Old US 1). The nature of the call was severe bleeding from wrist and the patient was transported to Rex Hospital. Jerry Adams was the primary attendant on the call assisted by David Weaver, Benny Rideout, Bob Weaver, Tom Brown, and John Servis.
Cary EMS’s current response district includes 60 square miles covering Cary, Morrisville, Swift Creek, parts of Apex, and Raleigh.
