I cut my finger at work (deep; wouldn't stop bleeding) I didn't ask them to look at the finger or anything all i aske was, "Do you have any extra bandage ?" this bitch going to say "oh yall should have bandaids if not you're breaking OSHA" somebody is injured I thought the job was to help they fucking suck she lucky I was worried about my finger I would have spit on that bitch. It was literally a yes or no question but she just had to abuse the little power she had. Won't be needing them ever again. Not sure what department but it happened yesterday 4/7/26 at Giant on Sinclair Ln, they were the first responders to a seizure call it was the only woman that was with them she had blonde hair

From my experience the city fire department has some fantastic public servants working hard to keep…read morepeople safe. It's very easy to get cynical about city government in Baltimore but my limited experiences (never had an actual fire thank god) with these guys has been great. The first time I needed them someone at our house was having a medical emergency. They responded quickly and seemed like serious professionals when they got here. More recently we had a false fire alarm at our house and because we were not home the alarm company dispatched the fire department to see what was going on. Unfortunately they had to bust into our house but they were careful to do it in a way that caused minimal damage and did not leave the house vulnerable to being broken into until we got home. When I spoke with one of the responding fire fighters on the phone to explain the false alarm situation he was super-nice about it and not at all unpleasant about the fact that they'd wasted their time over a twitchy smoke detector.

Nice space for rental. This space might also be called the Valley Forge Fire Company. The event I…read morewas at served food. It was so hot this day that the bench paint started to stick on you if you left your arm on it for too long. There is an indoor area where food was served and where people sat. There were also a few bathrooms located near the entrance of the walkway. A nice space for an event rental!

The local volunteer fire department in Severna Park, MD…read more The cool thing about most fire departments is that they have some common areas that they rent out to the public for a variety of functions. This one has a good bit of space for larger events. The annual Privateer Feast fundraiser for breast cancer research was moved to this venue for the first time this year - as we had outgrown the old venue and were turning people away! The place has a large kitchen, multiple sets of restrooms, and a stage for performing acts.

This is for the fire police, not the fire fighters. An…read moreaccident near my house gave me the chance to watch these guys in action and let me tell you, they need some community relations training. Verbally assaulting drivers with swears and hollering is not traffic control. These days, cops wont even yell at cars while directing traffic. I saw several outraged drivers verbally assault them back. This isn't safe or professional, and could result in some sort of road rage that wont end well.

I was here for a party for a baby's Christening in the party hall area. We were in nice giant clean…read moreroom with a dance floor. This is not what I expected to find at a Fire House, it felt very comfortable with a smaller room off to the side with a bar and a door leading to an area for food prep on the other side of the room. This space was obviously designed for events, it is very elegant with a clear entry way for guests. Bathrooms were clean and out of the way of the party. I would encourage others to take a look at this venue. Plenty of parking and an overall wonderful experience make this the perfect space for sweet 16s, mitzvahs, showers, and even weddings!

Ogden is apparently one of the few fire companies that still have a brush fire truck. The men were very competent and helpful in explaining what they were doing. This could have been a disaster since the wind was picking up speed that afternoon.

Started by a guy from Jersey, making dogs, smash burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, soft drinks, and more snacks, sides, and sweets. Their menu has ten dressed dogs, vegan dogs, and fourteen toppings for build-it-yourself requests. There are combos that save you a few dollars. We got the best Chicago Dogs in this area! Loaded with toppings. Every bite was a delight. Other vendors this week? We saw kettle corn, popcorn, Greek food, pizza, fish and chips, waffles, tacos, seafood, bbq, burgers, gelato, cupcakes, and even EC Diner! The list varies every week. For this event, the VFD is the sole beverage-seller, at good prices, as a bit of a fundraiser. We"ll becoming back for more Food Truck Fridays at the Elkridge Volunteer Fire Department!

Every Friday afternoon/evening they have Food Truck Fridays, and every Wednesday they have Bingo where you can win up to $1000. You can even buy food and drinks at Bingo.

I would like to acknowledge and thank volunteer Ian who gave me…read more wonderful assistance tonight. He was courteous, more than helpful, and helped an 80 yo woman to find her way home. I was hopelessly lost and becoming more frantic with each passing minute. Ian and his associate (I never got her name) assured me they would help, and indeed they did. I am sending their Unit (#500) a donation for their fine work. In this day and age too many people avoid "getting involved", but not the truly caring people like this group. I regard them as my guardian angels. To just say "thank you" does not seem adequate. Blessings to all of them! M. Barbara R.
