This afternoon, officers and members of the Upper Montgomery County Volunteer Fire Department attended the 2017 Memorial Service of the Montgomery County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association to pay respect to those members lost during the previous year. To say that the past year has been tough on the UMCVFD would be an understatement.

During the candle lighting service, family members honored their loved ones by lighting a candle in their memory, escorted by corporation uniformed members.

Today we humbly remember:

Chief Earl L. Moore
Maynard C. Luhn
Roy D. Herr
Ella Mae Wynne
Doris M. Lewis
L. Jane Fowler

Thank you for your selfless service. ... See MoreSee Less

Last week, the Upper Montgomery County Volunteer Fire Department took delivery of a brand new Ambulance to replace the aging Ambulance 714. The unit was provided by Montgomery County Fire & Rescue and is known as an "uncontrolled", volunteer staffed unit. This means that the career staffing at station 14 is primarily covering the Medic unit and the Ambulance is placed in service when a volunteer crew is present for staffing. UMCVFD is actively recruiting new and experienced volunteer EMTs and Firefighters to join our team of community servants. Contact us today or visit the station to see how you can be a part of the action! ... See MoreSee Less

We had some requests so here is a bit clearer picture of Chief George Hillard and Chief Bill Bliss standing together infront of the rental hall fireplace. The coat and helmet Chief Bliss is wearing is the same which hangs under the picture. The picture and gear is currently displayed in the Presidents office but will be moved to a more prominent location for visitors once our shadow box display is completed. This is just one of the many initiatives taking place at UMCVFD to fulfill our vow to "Honor the Past, Steward the Present, & Shepherd into the Future" ... See MoreSee Less

Last night members of the Upper Montgomery County VFD traveled to the Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire Department to attend the Awards Program of the 95th annual meeting of the Montgomery County Volunteer Fire-Rescue Association. Among the honored guests receiving awards were two pillars of the UMCVFD and the community. Walter "Tubby" Stottlemyer was presented with the Bill R. Bliss Memorial Award for 60 years of tireless service to the department. The award is named after one of Tubby's mentors in the department, Past Chief and President of UMCVFD, Bill Bliss.

Past President Ross L. Meem was presented with the Administrative Member of the Year award in recognition of his countless hours of volunteer effort in the administration, guidance and service of the UMCVFD.

These two men exemplify the tradition of service that has been the community standard over the years for the Upper Montgomery County Volunteer Fire Department and the members and officers wish to extend our deep gratitude for their example and their efforts.

Special note - The award named for UMCVFD legend Chief George Hillard Firefighter/Rescuer of the Year Award was presented to President and Master Firefighter Gregory Albrecht of the Laytonsville District Volunteer Fire Department

A few UMCVFD photos from Poolesville Day. Thank you to all the community members who stopped by and checked out the displays!

* UMCVFD displayed interactive CPR devices designed to show the importance of the proper depth and rate of compressions when doing CPR.
* UMCVFD also exhibited the vehicle temperature display. This dramatically displayed how hot a vehicle can get compared to the outside temperature. Inside 124F vs Outside 90F! Never leave a child alone in a car! ... See MoreSee Less

Save lives! Be prepared! Also, never leave a pet in a car in temps over 60 degrees. Inside temps can be excessive on a highly sunny day. Better safe than sorry !
