Kentland Volunteer Fire Department Inc.

The Kentland VFD provides a superior level of service through a unique membership. Our members manage a response burden unsurpassed by most volunteer departments, and provide a level of service equal to the most highly- resourced departments in the nation. The KVFD covers a large response area, with a first due area of 19 square miles, and a box alarm area of 52.2 square miles. We protect a variety of critical infrastructure resources in our primary response area, including FedEx Field, the 92,000 seat stadium of the Washington Redskins, the Fire/EMS Department headquarters, the Health Department headquarters, a US Secret Service office building, and the US Treasury Department’s main storage facility for the ink used to print US currency. The first due also has several demographic variables associated with increased fire and EMS demand, including a poverty rate over 25% and an unemployment rate over twice the national average. The needs of the response area place a significant burden upon the members of KVFD: the members of the all volunteer department responded to thousands of calls per year, including over 100 working fires. To provide unparalleled service to the community, the members of KVFD provide three services: a Class A engine, a Tower ladder, and a Rescue Engine equipped for fire suppression, technical rescue, and vehicular rescue/extrication operations. The KVFD is one of only two stations in Prince Georges County to provide all three services.https://www.facebook.com/Kentland33https://twitter.com/kentland33https://instagram.com/kentland33
