Did you know that Frederick County Fire & Rescue is a combination department of both career and volunteer personnel? Did you know that Frederick County Volunteer Fire and Rescue operate 33 stations—and 27 of those are volunteer-owned? Our volunteers are the backbone of emergency services, responding to calls, maintaining equipment, and keeping our community safe. As call volumes continue to rise, we need dedicated individuals like you to help us meet the growing demand.

Without volunteers, Frederick County would face two harsh realities:
Slower emergency response times, putting lives and property at risk.
Significant tax increases to fund full-time staff and equipment.
