Hagerstown Fire Department-Station 1

The Hagerstown Fire Department, established in the 1700s with the formation of the United Fire Company, has evolved significantly over the years, transitioning from an all-volunteer service to a combination of volunteer and career firefighters. Today, the department operates six strategically located fire stations, providing essential services such as fire suppression, rescue operations, hazardous materials response, and emergency medical services to a population of approximately 40,000 residents.

In 2014, the department initiated a strategic planning process to address future challenges and improve service delivery, resulting in a comprehensive plan that identifies key goals such as staffing, funding, and community engagement. The Hagerstown Fire Department remains committed to its mission of ensuring public safety while adapting to the changing needs of the community it serves.
