Department and Community Overview

The KVFD provides a superior level of service through a unique membership. Our members manage a response burden unsurpassed by most volunteer departments, and provide a level of service equal to the most highly- resourced departments in the nation. The KVFD covers a large response area, with a first due area of 19 square miles, and a box alarm area of 52.2 square miles. We protect a variety of critical infrastructure resources in our primary response area, including FedEx Field, the 92,000 seat stadium of the Washington Redskins, the Fire/EMS Department headquarters, the Health Department headquarters, a US Secret Service office building, and the US Treasury Department’s main storage facility for the ink used to print US currency. The first due also has several demographic variables associated with increased fire and EMS demand, including a poverty rate over 25% and an unemployment rate over twice the national average. The needs of the response area place a significant burden upon the members of KVFD: the members of the all volunteer department responded to thousands of calls per year, including over 100 working fires. To provide unparalleled service to the community, the members of KVFD provide three services: a Class A engine, a Tower ladder, and a Rescue Engine equipped for fire suppression, technical rescue, and vehicular rescue/extrication operations. The KVFD is one of only two stations in Prince Georges County to provide all three services.

The rescue response area of the Kentland VFD includes 21.4 miles of highway, where high speeds and heavy traffic volume increase the potential for serious accidents that often leave the victims pinned in their vehicles. Three major interstate highways (US Rt. 50, Interstate 495/95, and Rt. 295, the Baltimore-Washington Pkwy) are a part of Rescue Engine 33’s response area of about 45 square miles. KVFD is located adjacent to Washington, DC in Prince George’s County, one of the fastest growing Maryland counties, with a 2010 population of 865,271. The Washington Post deemed the section of I-495/95 in our area the “Deadliest Stretch” of highway in the state. In 2013, the KVFD responded to 5280 calls, a number that surpasses many fire departments, and 943 of those calls were for motor vehicle accidents.

History of Kentland Volunteer Fire Department

The Kentland Volunteer Fire Department was founded in February of 1951 when 10 neighbors met around Bob Baeschlin’s kitchen table and decided there wasn’t adequate fire protection in their neighborhood. The men put up their own money, took out loans, and bought a fire truck that sat in front of Bob's house for the next two years. In 1953, with more of their own money, loans, second mortgages, and expertise from the West Brothers Brick Company, the members built the first station by hand, instilling a sense of pride in the department that still shines through today. In the early 1950's, firehouse 33 was totaling 230 runs a year; by the mid 1960's, that number jumped into the 900's. With the increase in calls, the Department started its “Live-In” tradition by allowing 4 firemen to live at the firehouse rent-free. The Department also paid a driver to sleep in at night and hired a mechanic to service the rigs and drive them during the day, eventually leading to 3 paid men during the day.

In 1970, Prince George’s County switched to a charter form of government and the paid men at 33 were absorbed as County workers. Kentland was staffed by 4 career firefighters from 7 AM to 3 PM, and exclusively by volunteers on nights and weekends. In 1995 the last Landover Farm, continuously operated by the Wilson Family since 1752, was developed into Jack Kent Cooke Stadium, home of the Washington Redskins. Today the 91,000 seat stadium now called FedEx Field occupies the South Eastern 288 acres of the First Due. Woody Wilson is currently an active life member of the Department. On May 25, 1995, the career staff was removed by the County Fire Department and Kentland Volunteers have staffed Firehouse 33 for the last 20 years, averaging 110 fires and 4800 runs per year, never failing to respond and never responding understaffed. Presently, there are 75 active volunteers, three Chief Officers, four Captains, four Lieutenants, and four Sergeants; 23 of these men are live-in members.

    Perfect Kentland Pierce

    Posted by Brad Anderson on 5th May 2018

    I was lucky enough to spend some time reviewing every millimeter of the new Fire Replicas Pierce Kentland Rescue Engine 33. Kentland is a popular department and Pierce has many fanatics - there will be no disappointments with this model from them or anyone else that is smart enough to purchase this model. Put this model next to the previously released Seagrave Kentland Tower 33 and you have a great set. Fire Replicas has done a fantastic job of recreating Kentland's 2016 Pierce Arrow XT Heavy Duty Rescue Pumper. The fit and finish are perfect and the Kentland markings look fantastic on the white paint. Fire Replicas has done an outstanding job of recreating the grill with the 33 emblazoned on the radiator grill. The front bumper is a sight to see with a pair of sirens (including a beautiful Federal Q), a pair of hoses and accurate Pierce nameplate. The pump panel is authentic, as is the hose reel and monitor. I cannot say enough about the beautiful cabinet door hinges and slam locks. The use of stainless steel etch is well executed and the detail and accuracy is further enhanced by the wealth of tools included. How in the heck they can build these 500+ piece models is beyond me! The headlights, scene lighting and emergency lighting are composed of multiple layers to enhance accuracy. Bottom line: another unbelievable model. Fire model collectors sure are fortunate to have Fire Replicas! The models are well worth the price. Simply amazing! Sign me up for a pair of these beauties!
