The Antioch Rescue Squad was formed in 1940 as a volunteer group to provide emergency medical services within Antioch Township and the Village of Antioch. Today, they service 34 square miles with 56 volunteers and four Road Rescue ambulances. Their quarters are in a separate section of the Antioch Fire Department headquarters building at 835 Holbek Drive.
