If you are at least 16 years old, you are welcome to apply to volunteer with us! Because we serve our community in an emergency capacity, our recruitment process is selective to ensure the safety and alignment of our team.

The first step is to fill out our online information form HERE. Our committee reviews all initial submissions before inviting qualified candidates to the station for a tour and a formal application.

Please note that advancement is contingent upon the successful completion of each evaluation phase, which includes:

• A comprehensive background check
• Physical agility testing
• An interview

The Pikesville Volunteer Fire Company reserves the right to decline applications at any stage of the process. For those who successfully pass all committee reviews, the final step is a vote by the full membership to accept you as a probationary member.

You can help our volunteer company in several vital ways. First, please improve emergency access to your home or business. This means ensuring your house number is clearly posted and easily visible from the road, day or night, and making sure our large emergency vehicles can easily access your property.

Second, consider dedicating your time and passion by choosing to become a volunteer. Whether as a Firefighter or Emergency Medical Technician, we provide all necessary training for free, and all required gear and equipment are supplied to you. If you are interested, please read the FAQs and fill out the quick interest form on our "Volunteer" page HERE.

Third, financial donations are critical, as we must raise the majority of the funds needed for new equipment, supplies, and vehicle maintenance. You can help by donating online, responding to our Annual Fund Drive, contributing during "Fill the Boot" campaigns, participating in the weekly Maryland Firefighter 50/50 raffles, or booking a children’s birthday party at our facility—a popular event for kids. As we are an IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, all of your contributions are tax-deductible. You can donate online HERE.

Finally, we encourage you to participate in our community events to learn about fire prevention and safety directly from our members and show your support.

We love welcoming our community for FREE tours of our station and apparatus for groups like schools, camps, and other organizations. Even our furry friends from service animal programs are welcome! Fill out the contact form below to schedule a tour.

On occasion, Pikesville Volunteer Fire Company employs part-time Emergency Medical Technicians or Paramedics to help provide emergency medical services when our volunteers are not available. Maryland EMTs and Paramedics with at least two years of experience are welcome to contact us through the contact form below.
