Changed name to the Lumberton Emergency Rescue Unit after several local towns in Robeson County started their own rescue squads.
Moved to our current location at 2391 N. Roberts Ave. in Lumberton, NC. This building was paid for entirely with citizen contributions.
A helipad was constructed behind the rescue building for medical helicopters. Due to land constraints at Southeastern Regional Medical Center, the hospital requested and funded the helipad project. We are the only rescue and EMS service in the state with it's own helipad. Learn more about our helipad here.
