Volunteer Firefighter/EMS Recruitment - Berwyn Heights Volunteer Fire Department, PG County Maryland

THE ONLY VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTING AND EMS EXPERIENCE THAT FOCUSES ON VEHICLE EXTRICATION, TECHNICAL RESCUE AND TRUCK COMPANY OPERATIONS. [NO ENGINE COMPANY!!]
The Berwyn Heights Volunteer Fire Department provides both EMS and Firefighting protection to the residents of Prince George's County, located in the suburbs of Washington DC.
Unlike any other fire department in PG County, Berwyn Heights has NO ENGINE in the firehouse. This means the volunteers are highly trained in Truck Company Operations and Heavy Rescue Work. Many firehouses around the world have engines, but ONLY Berwyn Heights has just a truck and rescue squad. Members who join Berwyn Heights have the opportunity to become part of the PGFD Technical Rescue team as we are the only volunteer company in PG County to be apart of that.
Inside the firehouse you will find live-in or bunk-in members who live in the firehouse. These members go on vast majority of the calls and actually live at the firehouse. They go to school full time at the University of Maryland, some choose to work for Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute (MFRI) or have a full time job somewhere else.
Our fire house is staffed Monday through Friday during the day with Career Firefighters from the PG County Fire Department, but our members are still able to ride fire trucks any time they want.
We are looking to grow our team and add to the best fire department in the county, state and world. If you are interested in becoming an EMT, Firefighter or both this is a great opportunity for you. We offer free training and you do not need any experience.
If you think you are up for the challenge and want to join our EMS division, Firefighting Division or if you have an interest in becoming a live-in member, please visit our website and complete an application!

This is most definitely something I used to dream of doing down in PG County, Maryland, before finally making my mind up and now working as a brakeman for a railroad within northeastern New York. Very wonderful group within the PG EMS/Fire system and most definitely a pack of dare devil heroes out there on the front line.

The speed and way they were running in the beginning of the video they could definitely beat the truck to the call

I was a Volunteer Firefighter at Company 14 for a few yrs before moving to NC. Loved the training and the brotherhood . I miss that. Great bunch of people to work with. Had been with an Engine Company before, but felt like working off a RS or Truck Company was what I wanted to do.

Different house. No water company. Cool. Love the Pemfab.

Jezz that's almost 13 calls a day at 4500 calls a year. Granted most of these are probably EMS calls. Most Volunteer/Paid departments offer a paid shift. However your getting free training which besides FL you can go anywhere in the US and get on as a paid member of any Department. Florida doesn't recognize anyone else certifications.

Howard892 these guys don’t go to a lot of medicals. Their medic is actually their least busiest piece of apparatus

[@Howard892]

[@ryankuehnl1373]
