EMS-only members welcome.
For applicants who are only interested in providing emergency medical services on PVFC's ambulance, we offer EMS-only membership. PVFC's ambulance is extremely busy, running about 2000 calls annually. EMS-only members are full company members, and can choose to become fire and rescue trained at any time.
Engine, squad, and truck. Take your pick.
PVFC runs over 1800 fire and rescue calls every year, making us one of the busiest stations in Baltimore County. Whether you're new to the fire service, or have an interest in a particular discipline, PVFC is the station for you.
Non-riding members welcome.
The administration of a busy fire company is a tremendous job. PVFC is always looking for members who can assist with administrative tasks. No EMS, fire, or rescue training is required of our associate members.
