Before and After Shot. Nice to see new faces in the Fire House!
Are You Fire Fighter or Emergency Medical Technician Material?
Ask yourself the following questions.
Do you feel a sense of being connected to those around you?
Do you think you should be connected to those around you?
Do you feel you can do something to help the people around you?
Do you see things happen and feel the urge to step in and help?
Do you step in and help but wish or know you could have been better at providing help?
When you see things happen (accident, injuries, fires, fear in people’s faces) do you wish you could help?
Are you even aware you can help people or do you miss events around you?
Are you sensitive to others?
Are you just concerned for yourself?
Are you the kind of person that stands in the crowd and gawks, stares and thinks, “What a shame?”
After reading those questions do you feel that you are being called by a force greater than yourself to get involved? Is there an fire or emergency medical organization in your community that you would like to be involved in but you do not know what steps to take to get involved?
If you would like to know more about how you can get involved fill out the “Apply Now” application on this website. We are here to help you get started on a career that will last a lifetime. Don’t let your desire to be trained to give back to your community fade. Don’t put off for tomorrow what you can do today. Send us that message and we will help you do the rest. Come to our Drill Nights which happen every Monday 7 pm at 3900 Old Silver Hill Road in Suitland. Come Join Us!!!
Tonight We Celebrate – Badge Pinning Ceremony
We will be adding a new EMS Lieutenant and several new fire fighters to our ranks tonight. We also are adding two new Nationally registered EMTs. We cannot be more proud of our members. Frequently, we hear that fewer people want to volunteer their time as compared to years gone by. The unfortunate reality is that in years gone by people were appreciated more then, compared to now. People stop coming because their services were no longer appreciated and they were being pushed aside as a system that no longer had relevance.
We at the Silver Hill Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad care about our members and we value their service, we honor their service and we serve them. We would like those who have come to the Department and turned in their applications to stay vigilant to complete the process. It is a process, though arduous, is worth completing. Keep coming to our Drill Night on at 7 pm on Mondays were we meet at 3900 Old Silver Hill Road. Come Join Us!
We appreciate You!
Moving an Organization Forward Through Headwinds of Change
We at the Silver Hill Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad are undertaking various initiatives to help the organization operate in the environment for the next 50 years. At 71 years and counting this organization has seen much change. The political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental factors have all changed continuously and that shows the resilience of our organization and the talent of our members. The Life members should be proud of their achievements as they reflect on the past and in light of the current situation. They left a stable and profitable organization for the next generation of fire and emergency medical services personnel.
Our People
The volunteers are a mix of young and old, experienced and inexperienced and we are a diverse group in every sense of the word. Each member plays their role with one prevailing attitude, we are here to serve others. When we put aside our differences and we focus on our universal need to serve others we thrive. We are proud to be associated with each other and we appreciate what each of us bring to the table. Recently we have had several members pass their EMT and National Registry. This will continue the cycle of service as they move from trainee to service provider.
Our Building
We have upgraded many parts of the facility to make the environment more enjoyable. We are considerate of our members physical needs as well as their health and safety. Sometimes it looks like a work zone when we replace the carpet, paint, receive new furniture, computers and associated work stations and more. We are even meeting with contractors to see the feasibility of extending the second floor to create a new bunkroom, offices and workout facility.
Our Apparatus
We have a robust apparatus replacement program so that we can employ the best technologies to operate in the hostile environments we respond to. We have also put new personnel in place to help us manage our apparatus maintenance program.
Our Time
We respect the time commitments of our members and provide the best training, educational opportunities, and benefits to ensure they feel respected for their service. We know our members could be doing many other things and we want them to have a healthy balance in their activities. Because we are the busiest company in the County we also know our member will have the experiences to provide services to those in need as often as they would want to participate.
We are here to meet the needs of all those who want to have a rewarding career in the fire and rescue services. We are located at 3900 Old Silver Hill Road in Suitland, Maryland. We have Drill Night on Mondays beginning at 7 pm. Come Join Us!!
New Beginings
At this point in life you find that you have achieved all that you believed you would. Now you want to give back. We invite you to let the youth around you know how their life could change contributing to something bigger than themselves. You know self-esteem is the most important element in living a successful life. At the least, bring a young person to the fire station at 3900 Old Silver Hill Road and help them find out how they can serve. You may even find a role that you can play to add to the quality of your life. We train every Monday at 7 pm in the Hall. Join Us.
