![]() What?Ĭompany 33 operates two class ‘A’ engines, a mini-pumper, a combination class ‘A’ engine / heavy rescue and a 75 foot Baker-AerialScope Tower Ladder. 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 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. It is staffed solely by a dedicated group of volunteers 100% of the time, a surprising accomplishment in today’s society of decreased volunteerism. Company 33, arguably the busiest volunteer engine, rescue and tower company in the Nation, is the department featured on this website. It is two of 47 volunteer fire stations that comprise the Prince George’s County Fire Department (PGFD). The Kentland Volunteer Fire Department is comprised of two firehouses, Company 33 and Company 46.
