Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps had a great turnout at this year's open house on Sunday afternoon.

RVAC's Open House on May 21 offers the opportunity for community members to learn about, and show their support for, the hardworking members of this civic organization.

After a car drove over the guardrail of the CR 105, a man returning to the campground at around midnight happened upon the wreck on the pitch-black exit ramp for Indian Island County Park. Luckily for the driver, who was severely injured, the Good Samaritan was a paramedic and an ex-chief of the Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps.

The employees were treated for smoke inhalation. No animals were hurt in the incident; all were taken into the clinic building prior to FD arrival.

Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps has its full complement of officers for 2015 and a new board president.

RVAC elected a new chief at its general membership meeting, filling a post that was vacant for nearly half of 2014 after the ex-chief's suspension.

The town board, as a tax-saving measure, is looking bill for ambulance services provided to the victims of the 1,000 car accidents in Riverhead each year.
