About this campaign
The Blount County Rescue Squad needs your help to fund our presence on the stretch of Highway 129 known as "The Dragon". This popular destination for motorcycles and cars derives its name from its resemblance to a dragon's tail. This section begins at Tabcat Creek and runs to Deals Gap and has 318 curves in only 11 miles. The area is remote. Cell phone service is for the most part non-existent. Visitors to The Dragon who experience a medical emergency may experience wait times of up to an hour before medical help arrives. To render help moe quickl, the Blunt Couny RescueSquad pts a qick respnse rescue vehicle directly on The Dragon every Saturday and Sunday during the months of May through October. This is in addition to our crash truck and quick response vehicle that remains in service from our Alcoa headquarters. Our skilled teams working on The Dragon are medically certified and/or licensed, skilled in pre-hospital trauma care, rope rescue, and search & rescue. Depending on the location of the emergency, we have been able to reduce response times to ten minutes or less.

I have rode the Dragon on a motorcycle which is intimidating. I have also seen wrecks on that stretch of road. Being a Paramedic for over 25 years, I applaud the EMS/Rescue personnel in their dedication. Be Safe!
Good looking shirts BCRS!
Thank you!!
Because I love the Tail of the Dragon!
The amazing work and dedication the members of this squad give not only benefits the great citizens of Blount County but those who come to tame the Dragon every year. Keep up the tremendous work!
