Rescue 33 was acquired at a state auction and was a former Henrico Police Cruiser. Its main purpose serves as a first response or quick response vehicle (QRV) for lieutenants and officers. It is equipped with BLS supplies and an AED.

Affectionately known as the twins, Rescue 35 and 38 were acquired in 2002 from Wheeled Coach and serve as the squad's main patient transport trucks. They are ALS equipped with Lifepack 12's and respond throughout the city of Richmond being dispatched by Richmond Ambulance Authority for EMS calls.

Rescue 39 was a former Battalion's Chief Vehicle for Richmond Fire Department. The 4-wheel drive GMC Suburban is the support vehicle for Rescue 31 offering MCI supplies and man-power transport.
