Meet YOUR Volunteers

We are proud to celebrate the Kaiser family—Scott, Theresa, Kelli, and Matthew—who all dedicate their time, skills, and hearts to serving our community right here at the North Beach Volunteer Fire Department! 🚒💨 Volunteering is a true family affair for the Kaisers, and each member plays an important role in keeping the department running strong:

• Theresa (Brown) Kaiser (Firefighter/EMT) balances her volunteer service between both Clinton VFD and right here at North Beach as the EMS lieutenant.
• Scott Kaiser (Firefighter/EMT) serves as NBVFD’s board of directors’ vice president.
• Kelli Kaiser keeps our gears turning behind the scenes by volunteering her time with administrative duties.
• Matthew Kaiser (Firefighter/EMT) carries on the family's emergency operations tradition on our crew 24-hours-a-day as a live-in and the company fire sergeant.

This family’s dedication to Calvert County recently earned them statewide recognition when the Maryland State Firemen's Association (MSFA) presented the family with a special citation titled "In Recognition of a Tradition," celebrating three phenomenal generations of volunteer service in Maryland.

This legacy started with Theresa’s mother, Sally Brown, a familiar face, dedicated volunteer, and 2016 Prince George’s County Hall of Fame inductee at the Clinton Volunteer Fire Department (CVFD).

Sally instilled a deep commitment to community emergency services in her family, passing the torch down to her daughter Theresa (who began volunteering when she was 16 and became a life-member at CVFD); son-in-law and fellow P.G. County Hall of Famer Scott (who also became a CVFD life member after serving as that department’s president and deputy chief); her granddaughter Kelli; and, grandson Matthew (who also began volunteering at age 16). The MSFA commended the Brown and Kaiser families for dedicating the time required to train, engage, and support emergency services throughout our Maryland communities.

With Scott, Theresa, Kelli, and Matthew all stepping up to answer the call, the Kaiser family truly embodies what it means to give back. We are grateful to have this entire family as part of our NBVFD family.

Please join us in thanking the Kaiser family (and Miss Sally), pictured below in a family photo taken during our Centennial Gala earlier this month, for their outstanding generations of service. Give them a huge congratulations next time you see them around town! 🎉🚨

~ Administrative support

~ Fundraising
~ Grant writing

Meet YOUR North Beach VFD Volunteers!

CJ Conner first walked into the North Beach Volunteer Fire Department at the age of 14 to join the department’s first official cadet class. Twenty-six years later, CJ has held nearly every position in the firehouse, including firefighter, truck driver, EMT, deputy fire chief, and boat captain.

Today, the full-time electrician says his commitment to the community only grows stronger each day.

Reflecting on the changes within the volunteer fire service he has witnessed over the nearly three decades of his service, he points directly to the tremendous improvements in training and professionalism.

“Years ago, we’d come to the firehouse in flip-flops and shorts,” he laughs. “Today, there is a wardrobe expectation because we are dealing with the public during some of their most vulnerable moments. Because we are committed to continuous improvement, our training has leveled up through the years, as well.”

The biggest surprise of his tenure?

“I think the biggest surprise I have experienced as a member of the North Beach Volunteer Fire Department is gaining water navigation skills and becoming a rescue boat captain (through the United States Coast Guard) for The Ward,” shares Conner. “I love what I do at this department. Whether I'm behind the wheel of the fire truck or out on the boat, I truly love responding to help people in need.”
