Don’t Give Up on Your Training Program

The road to becoming a certified EMT or Firefighter may be long but it is worth it. The career field has too many benefits to walk away from. While training isn’t glamorous or exciting it leads to the type of lifestyle you want to enjoy. When you compare your future with training, to your life without training you can see why you started the training.

Don’t quit because of the time commitment. Anything worth doing takes time. You can’t expect to treat patients and respond to fires with little to no training. The training we provide is very targeted to get you providing services in the shortest time. We are providing training through accredited post secondary educational institutions like the University of Maryland and the Maryland Institute of Emergency Medical Services. Many of the courses can be turned into college credits saving you thousands of dollars in college fees. You can get the same training with us that you take from colleges and universities much faster and at a much lower cost. In most cases our training is free.

We provide free on-line training and in station drills to help you meet your fire service goals. So if you want to serve your community and make yourself available to the fire service market come to the Silver Hill Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad at 3900 Old Silver Hill Road. Go to our apply now page and 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!

YES WE CAN!!

Angela D. Alsobrooks

In just a few months into her administration County Executive Angela Alsobooks’ budget makes a difference in the safety of the public!

We know that we at the Silver Hill Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad Inc still make a difference in the lives of those we serve. Prince George’s County is unique because it is a major metropolitan area that still believes its citizens can make a contribution. Our current elected officials on the County Council continue to make the investments needed to empower the citizens in its communities to serve. Our leaders should be proud that they oversee one of the largest combination fire and emergency medical services departments in the nation.

While many communities have to appeal to their citizens in times of crisis to get involved in the recovery effort after disasters and emergencies occur, many citizens of Prince George’s County are involved in the entire emergency management life cycle of activities (mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery). Our County Executive and Council believe in our people’s (their constituents) YES WE CAN attitude. This is a tribute to their leadership abilities among their people that elected them to do that which is in their best interest. We can’t thank our elected leaders enough!

Come Join Us!
