With this event, BSBRA successfully supplied 4 volunteer ambulances, District ALS, 3 EMS bike teams and Special Operation capabilities with our MCI vehicle. Exchange Ambulance of the Islips lended a hand supplying a volunteer gator rover to roam the race route and the Brentwood Legion Ambulance supplied an additional volunteer ambulance.

Being a volunteer at BSBRA is much more then answering calls for help. Day in and day out, our volunteers go above and beyond lending a hand to our communities sporting events, social events, festivals, fairs and neighboring districts. 
A job well done goes out to all of our volunteers that sacrifice their time for our neighbors.
