A combination of volunteer members and county employees staff the fire house 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The company responds to all types of calls, from service calls, like helping an elderly person lift something heavy, to emergency calls, such as automobile accidents, fires and medical emergencies. The Greenbelt Fire Department responded to the following total number of calls in recent years:

Company 35 runs two engines, an ambulance, a utility truck, and three chiefs' buggies. Our first due area covers Old Greenbelt, much of the rest of the city of Greenbelt, and the area around the intersection of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway and the Capitol Beltway.

We rely on volunteers to provide staffing for our apparatus during the evenings, weekends, and holidays. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us. Whether you wish to be a firefighter, EMT, member of our Ladies Auxiliary, or just help out administratively, we will be happy to have you join our family.
