Gearing up! Today UMCVFD received a partial delivery of new Water Rescue Operations Gear for the water and boat rescue elements of our department. The initial order is funded by volunteer funds and consists of (when complete) 4 complete sets of personal floatation devices, Rescue helmets, dry suits, thermal under layers for winter operations, water rescue boots, lights, knives, ice picks and rescue whistles for location and communication in dark and stormy conditions. Later this month, a second set of 4 is being provided by MCFRS Special Operations to bring our total new sets to 8. We use this gear often for the Potomac River, Monocacy River, various ponds and storm flooded roadways in the area.

As always, we thank the community for their continued support, it helps our crews purchase items to serve you better.

*Neat side note for the community - Yellow helmets and PFDs mean a standard water rescue crew member, Red helmets and PFDs mean a swift water rescue crew member. ... See MoreSee Less

Improvements on the way! In continuation of our objective to become a welcoming location for community activities and involvement, the department has invested in new, specially formulated ballfield dirt for the softball field with more cool additions to come. The dirt will be spread on the infield over the next few days and will be ready for play! The field and pavilion area are available for rent to community members and groups so if you're interested give us a call. Looking forward to seeing you more this fall 👍 ... See MoreSee Less
