Welcome to the Mount Rainier Volunteer Fire Department, Inc.

We have been providing fire and emergency medical services to the city of Mount Rainier, Prince Georges County and the surrounding communities and counties, including the District of Columbia since 1911. We have a long and prestigious history. Many of our members have gone on to become leaders in the Prince Georges County Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association, the Prince Georges County Fire Commission, the Prince Georges County Fire/EMS Department and many other career and volunteer departments throughout the area. 

The mission of the Mount Rainier Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. is to protect the residents and visitors of Prince Georges County and the surrounding jurisdictions against the ravages of fire, provide pre-hospital care in cases of medical emergencies and to protect against all other hazards, both man made and natural disasters that threaten the public welfare.

We strive to be responsive to the public needs in both emergency and non-emergency situations.

We do this by providing prompt, professional Fire/EMS service with the most highly trained emergency service personnel and the most advanced and well-equipped Fire/EMS equipment available.

We are part of the Prince Georges County Fire/EMS Department, which is a combination career/volunteer department. The Prince Georges County Fire/EMS Department has over 650 career, full time firefighters and over 1000 volunteer firefighter and EMS personnel that operate from over 40 fire stations that are mostly owned by 37 individual volunteer corporations.
