Rent-Free Living for Dedicated First Responders
The Pikesville Volunteer Fire Company (PVFC) offers a Live-In program providing rent-free living quarters—including utilities and full kitchen access—to dedicated operational members.

This program is designed for active, qualified Firefighter and EMS members who can work as a cohesive team to serve both the community and the company.
