Extinguishing fire is where it all began. After several major fires in the town throughout the early 1920’s the organization as we know it today was born. Back then its sole purpose was protecting the citizens of Elkton and the surrounding area from fires.

Today our fire suppression capability goes well beyond what any of those early members could have ever imagined. All of our members are outfitted with the latest protective clothing so they can safely enter a burning building to rescue victims and to extinguish the fire before it damages more of the structure.

We’ve also got several specialty trucks that allow us to effectively battle natural vegetation fires in our unique rural and urban area along with a tanker that helps to ensure our firefighters have the water they need.
