Congratulations to Probationary Firefighter Cherrico for being named one of the three corporals in the high school Cadet Class. Corporals are chosen by program leadership and instructors based on multiple evaluations throughout the first weeks of school. These gentlemen have proven themselves to be leaders in their class and will be assigned other cadets to mentor throughout the year. Strong work, we’re proud of you!

If you’re out and about at the Charles County Fair 🎡 this evening, be sure to stop and say hello to our crew of FDLP VOLUNTEERS! 🚒 The crew is a part of the fair emergency standby (several stations will be present and rotating throughout the entire event), ready to assist attendees when needed.

Now that’s a crew I’d feel extremely safe and comfortable with taking care of me and my family. Thank you for putting such willing and dedicated VOLUNTEERS on the street.
Thank you!
Crews operated earlier on a kitchen fire in Town, not far from our station. Luckily the fire was caught before causing more damage to the home. Always use caution while cooking.

Would you help your local volunteers if you could? Do you realize that all firefighters in Charles County are volunteers and are not paid for their service? These dedicated individuals save taxpayers billions of dollars through their service.
Help us gain funding to serve you! Please click on the link below to VOTE for our video in the UL Close Before You Doze video contest. The winner of the contest will receive $25,000. This would be a tremendous help to our department budget, funding items such as firefighter protective gear, breathing apparatus, rescue tools, or fleet needs.
VOTE from each IP address that you can connect to and please SHARE and encourage your friends and family to do the same. Most importantly, we want to spread the fire safety message to close your bedroom doors at night to increase survival rates in the event of a fire. Voting ends on 9/15 and we know we can make a push to the end! Thank you to everyone who has supported us thus far!

La Plata VFD and several surrounding departments are operating on a brush fire in the area of La Plata Rd/Hawkins Gate Rd. Please use caution in the area.
Update: Units reporting large brush fire along the high voltage power lines running from LaPlata Rd to the area of the Blue Crabs Stadium. Command has requested a second and third alarm for brush trucks.
Thank you to all our Fire & Rescue departments, our Police & Sheriff department who risk their lives to help the Community.💙🙏🏼
Let us never forget the service, sacrifice, and loss from the events of September 11, 2001.
Let us always remember AMERICANS standing together in the face of adversity, neighbors helping neighbors, the sense of unity that blossomed from the ashes. 🇺🇸 There is a Todd Beamer in each of us with a “Let’s roll!” attitude.
In the words of FDNY Chaplain Father Mychal Judge in a mass for firefighters the day before the attacks, "You do what God has called you to do. You get on that rig, you go out and do the job. No matter how big the call, no matter how small, you have no idea of what God is calling you to do, but God needs you. He needs me. He needs all of us.
God needs us to keep supporting each other, to be kind to each other, to love each other."
I'll never forget!🇺🇸
I'll Never For Get !!! ♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️
Amen
❤️🇺🇸💙🇺🇸❤️
