The Annapolis Fire Department is responsible for emergency medical services, fire suppression, rescue activities, and mitigation of disasters. The depa

rtment operates from 4 stations with 3 Engine companies, 2 Truck companies, 1 Rescue Squad, 4 Advance Life Support (ALS) medical units, a duty Battalion Chief, and an EMS Supervisor. The Special Operations Division is responsible for the specialty teams within the Operations Section and includes:
Bike Medics
Bomb Squad Services
Dive Team
Fire Investigations
Hazardous Materials
Marine Rescue/Firefighting
Tactical Medics
Technical Rope Rescue
Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)
These teams are all collateral duties of personnel assigned to the 4 stations. The Fire Marshal's Office
Fire and Explosives Services Unit provides the staff and equipment for bomb squad activities. The personnel assigned to the Operations Section routinely conduct fire/safety inspections of commercial properties and marinas. We participate in public education programs and will conduct home fire safety and smoke alarm checks on request.

This week, we were at the Bowman Place and Homes Community, teaching residents how to use a fire extinguisher properly.

Lt. Williams conducted this step-by-step, hands-on fire extinguisher training for about 25 transportation personnel. They learned the different types of fire extinguishers and the acronym P.A.S.S. - Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep - to help them remember how to use one.

If you want to have fire extinguisher training at your business or community in The City Of Annapolis, please fill out our form at the link below.

Extreme heat can be dangerous, especially for older adults, young children, outdoor workers, and anyone with medical conditions.

We remind our residents and visitors to:

✅Stay hydrated,
✅Limit outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day
✅Check on neighbors, family members, and pets
✅NEVER leave kids or pets unattended in the vehicle

Know the signs of heat-related illness, including dizziness, heavy sweating, nausea, weakness, or fainting. Move to a cool place, drink water, and call 911 immediately if symptoms become severe or if someone may be experiencing heat stroke (confusion, altered mental status, slurred speech, loss of consciousness, hot, dry skin or profuse sweating, seizures, very high body temperature).

Remember to stay cool, hydrated, and safe!

Recently, Liliana stopped by our Eastport Fire Station to meet some firefighters! 🚒

She was surprised and excited to meet some of our female firefighters! 👩🏼‍🚒

Liliana got a station tour, and she’s been a fire truck and firefighter fanatic ever since her mom said she could walk and talk!

Definitely a future firefighter in the making! We'll see you soon!

In Honor of Memorial Day 🇺🇸

We pause to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom each and every day, who gave everything in defense of our nation.

We also extend our gratitude to all veterans, active-duty military members, first responders, and their families for their continued commitment and sacrifice.

All gave some, but some gave all - Thank you, today and always!
