Description
Welcome to the official web site for the Berwyn Heights Volunteer Fire Department, Station 14 in Prince George's County, Maryland. We are located just inside the Capital Beltway, about 1 mile east of the University of Maryland's College Park campus and 5 miles northeast of the nation's capital, Washington D.C.
We proudly serve a diverse population in the surrounding communities of Berwyn Heights, College Park and Greenbelt. We also respond to incidents with the neighboring fire stations in the Beltsville, Chillum, Glenn Dale, Hillandale, Hyattsville, Lanham, Laurel and Riverdale areas.
Station 14 currently operates four types of apparatus to handle the emergencies and incidents that occur in the area - a heavy rescue squad, a tractor-drawn aerial ladder truck, a basic life support ambulance and a rescue boat. The rescue squad, which carries up to 8 firefighters, primarily responds to motor vehicle collisions on the 60 miles of busy highways that are in our dispatch area, but it also responds to structural fires to carry out search and rescue duties. The tiller truck, with a 106 foot aerial ladder and capacity for 9 firefighters, is dispatched to structure types ranging from single story houses to 4 story garden apartments to 18 story high-rises. We also operate three chief's vehicles and a utility truck for support needs.
