April
23, 2012 - Today the Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department
has accomplished one of biggest milestones since our inception
seven decades ago. Our
members have proudly responded to every single call we’ve been
alerted to for 5,000 days
straight. PFVFD has
remained “scratch free”
for more than 13 years. This
is an accomplishment no other department in Calvert County
history has ever achieved. PFVFD was able to attain this goal
with 70 dedicated volunteers who give their time, energy, and
heart to the community day in and day out – for free.
Prince
Frederick Volunteer Fire Chief Brian Ficke says, “It
is an honor to be a member of such a strong and dedicated
organization. I know
the sacrifice it takes to leave your family or events with
friends to respond to the firehouse to get the fire trucks out.
The fact that our members have given thousands of hours
of their free time to help meet this goal is something I am
extremely proud of. Calvert
County is the last all 100% volunteer county in the entire state
of Maryland; and I want it to stay that way.
I thank each and
every one of our members for helping us to meet this major
milestone in our department history.” |
