A Legacy of Service, A Future of Training
- BVAC Rescue Response Training Center is based in Bayside, Queens, and provides emergency response, safety, and preparedness education for individuals, community members, workplaces, and professionals. Founded in 1955, BVAC has longstanding roots in community service and continues that mission today through training and public education.
- The organization’s current focus is on preparedness, prevention, and practical instruction. Rather than emphasizing emergency response after an incident occurs, the training center is designed to help people understand how to recognize emergencies, respond appropriately, and support safety in everyday environments.
