In emergency situations, time is of the essence. Before New Bridge Station 8, there were over 2,300 Lake Anna area homes outside of the 5-mile radius of any EMS station.

Ambulance Physio Control LifePack and Extrication Equipment ($76,235)

Thanks to people like you, Station 8 is more effectively able to respond to emergency calls - 1,304 in 2025 so far.
What's still needed? The next priority for Station 8 is a Tanker Truck—essential for rural fire departments like ours. Tankers carry large volumes of water to areas without hydrants, which includes thousands of homes in the New Bridge, Lake Anna, and Mineral communities
Tanker trucks cost over $400,000. Our goal is to provide matching funds of $200,000.

Our amazing team of volunteers worked with the Lake Anna community to raise the “seed money” to build the New Bridge Rescue Station. The Louisa County Board of Supervisors ultimately appropriated $2.3 million for a fire and rescue station that became operational June 1, 2023. We continue to raise funds for vital equipment. Please donate now or contact us for more information.
The Foundation for Lake Anna Emergency Services was established in January 2020 for fundraising and soliciting contributions from individuals and businesses in the Lake Anna community for the purpose of donating funds collected to construct a public emergency services facility to serve the more than 2,300 homes and businesses at Lake Anna currently outside the 5-mile radius of any rescue station in Louisa County, Virginia. In spite of the pandemic, the Foundation and the Lake Anna community raised $100,000 in 5 months. An additional $400,000 has been raised for an ambulance, ambulance equipment and a fire and rescue boat.
In rural areas, EMS is your health care provider for the first hour of life-threatening events. Our initial mission was to raise $100,000 to be donated to Louisa County for the construction of the New Bridge Rescue EMS Station. Once we met that goal, the Lake Anna Community continued to support the need for equipment and supplies for Station 8.
