Operational Roles
There are three different operational roles available at PVRS. These are Emergency Medical Technician, Driver/Operator and Aide. Please follow the links below for more information about each of these:
Once operational members have been voted-in by the PVRS membership, they will receive initial training in CPR and attend Volunteer Orientation, as well as participate in our “Cleared-to-Ride” program. In addition to this training, members are highly encouraged to take part in courses offered through Loudoun County Fire and Rescue in order to become released drivers and EMTs.
