Who We Are

MISSON STATEMENT

" To safely provide Fire, Rescue and Emergency Medical Services while educating, reducing risk and protecting our community in a professional, efficient manner with a well-trained, healthy workforce."

We are a workforce of volunteer and career firefighters / EMS Clinicans and paramedics that ensure our combination fire/rescue system continues our long history of high quality and professional service to Frederick County for approximately 284,000 citizens that reside over the 669 square miles of jurisdiction.  We are held to the highest standard of moral and ethical character and work to protect your life and property professionally, enthusiastically and to their utmost ability.  Our 24 individual corporations partner with the county government to form a combination career-volunteer fire and rescue system. 

We are the dedicated men and women of Frederick County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Services! We volunteer for different reasons.  Most of our volunteers work outside the service.  No matter your career path, there is a place for you to volunteer within our 24 fire and rescue corporations located across Frederick County, Maryland.  We have a proud organization that has a role for everyone. 

Our volunteers unselfishly give of their time to help others.  They are dedicated individuals who train hard, go the extra mile and are ready at a moment’s notice when the call comes in to help those in need.  We are fire fighters, emergency medical technicians, ambassadors, auxiliary and administrative members.

We volunteer as firefighters and EMS clinicians because we wish to:

• Make a contribution to our community
• Use our skills and experience
• Explore one’s own strengths
• Network and meet other people
• Belong to an organization we can be proud of
• Improve job opportunities
• and to fulfill dreams.

We are professionals!  We have pride, respect, and a fellowship that bonds us together as volunteers with Frederick County Volunteer Fire and Rescue.  We are one of the most honorable volunteer organizations in Maryland.

Volunteer with us.  Join the Excitement!
