Interested in Serving Your Community?
Welcome! The New Market District Volunteer Fire Company, Inc. is always looking for dedicated Men & Women interested in making a difference in the community. Whether you’re interested in Fire & EMS or you’d like to serve in more of an Administrative capacity – we’d be happy to hear from you! We offer the following initial membership classes; Junior Member, Active/ Probationary Member, Associate Member & Dive Only Member.
We are a full service department, housing 2 Engine Companies, a Rescue Squad, 2 Ambulances, a Brush Truck, 2 Boats (Swift Water and Dive) and several support vehicles. Located within the Town of New Market in Frederick County, Maryland – we’re uniquely located on the borders of three additional counties; Montgomery County, Carroll County and Howard County.
Within our First Due (primary response area) we have pretty much every type of construction, terrain and roadway you can think of – including several bodies of water within the Lake Linganore Communities.
On average, we annually respond to just under 2,000 calls for service per year. However, with the current plan to develop several more communities within our area over the next few years, that number will inevitably continue to grow over time.
Strategically located within yards of Interstate 70, we’re only a short drive to several Colleges and Universities as well as many attractions in and around the Baltimore & DC Areas.
What we offer to our members...
- Live-in program for qualified individuals
- Duty Crew Program
