The Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad provides an opportunity to be part of the fire and EMS community, respond to 911 emergencies, and provide fire, rescue, and emergency medical services in a major metropolitan environment. BCC volunteers gain experience at all levels of the fire-rescue service, beginning with serving as a charge EMT on an ambulance, all the way up to chief fire officer. The experience is unparalleled, and all training is provided free of charge. Our members most often describe their rescue squad experience as fun, challenging, and rewarding. No initial experience is required. All training is provided free of charge. | Requirements: Minimum age: Junior members must have reached their 16th birthday, and not yet reached their senior year of high school. Regular applicants must be at least 18 years of age and have completed high school. Medical clearance: All applicants must complete a physical prior to being cleared to ride. The physical is administered by the Montgomery County Fire/Rescue Operational Medical Services, and includes: a vision test, hearing test, chest x-ray, PPD skin test for tuberculosis, a cardiac stress test, blood tests, drug screening, and a physician exam. Criminal background check and fingerprinting: All applicants must undergo a state and federal criminal history check prior to joining. Service commitment: It typically takes 12 to 18 months to complete the probationary period and attain charge EMT status, so the minimum expected commitment is three years of membership. TRAINING REQUIREMENTS Many of our volunteers begin without any fire or EMS training or experience. All volunteers begin as probationary members until minimum training requirements are met. Once the probationary period is complete, volunteers may choose to gain additional training in emergency medical services, fire/rescue services, or both. All training is provided free of charge. All volunteers begin as probationary members. The probationary period is time-intensive, as members gain experience and meet federal, state, county, and rescue squad training requirements. ON DUTY REQUIREMENTS The basic duty requirement: Shortly after you join, you will be assigned to a night crew and (with one exception) will stand duty the same night each week. When assigning you, the Rescue Squad will make every effort to honor your preference for a specific night crew, but we also seek to keep the crews balanced. Your basic duty requirement will be a 12-hour shift once a week from 7 pm until 7 am. During this period, you are at the station and responding to emergency calls. Night crew members have the same duty night every week, with the following exception: to ensure that no crew is forced to stand duty every Saturday night, we do not have a Saturday night crew. Instead, each sixth week, a "Roving" crew will take your normal duty night. You, in turn, will stand duty on Saturday night and into Sunday day. Sound confusing? Don’t worry, logistics such as this will be explained after you are accepted into the Rescue Squad. Junior members have a shorter duty shift, from 7 pm – 11 pm on school nights. Junior Members who do not have school the next day are encouraged to spend the night at the Rescue Squad to further their experience and training. The weekend duty requirement: Probationary members are required to stand two 5-hour weekend duty shifts (10 hours, total) every two months. Weekend duty shifts are 8am to 1pm, and 1pm to 6pm Saturdays, Sundays, and most federal holidays. Members sign up in advance for the weekend duty shifts every two months, so they may tailor weekend duty to their schedules. Privates and above are required to stand four 5-hour weekend duty shifts each period. Additional duties include participation in the annual open house (Rescue Day), cleanups in the spring and fall, and Christmas tree sales. | Categories: EMT, Firefighter, Junior Members

Glen Echo Fire Department (GEFD) is a combination career-volunteer department located in the southeast corner of Montgomery County, Maryland. We have around 30 active members who come from all walks of life. Our membership includes high school, college, and medical students, parents, attorneys, scientists, dog walkers, military personnel, and engineers, just to name a few. There are wonderful, interesting people at Glen Echo Fire Department, and the atmosphere is not only professional, but also fun and welcoming—we take great pride in thinking of ourselves as a family and as having a “firehouse” rather than a “fire station.” Some of our more senior members will tell you that they started as volunteers thinking they would just stick with it for a couple years, only to find that their experience at Glen Echo was something they were unwilling to leave behind. GEFD volunteers who’ve moved as far away as Utah and Florida still come back several times a year to be at the firehouse and to run calls. And several of our volunteers—some of whom will tell you they never would have dreamed of becoming doctors or nurses—have found their calling while members of the department and have subsequently gone on to medical school or nursing school, or have become physician assistants. We are also the closest volunteer firehouse to American University, and many of our members are Eagles. We’re located right on several bus lines and are less than a mile from where Massachusetts Avenue intersects the Capital Crescent Trail (a paved bike path linking Georgetown, downtown Bethesda, and other locations), so it’s easy to get to us. | Requirements: There are some sacrifices and some commitment required to be a volunteer at GEFD, but they are far outweighed by the enormous rewards from helping others in their time of need — this gets reinforced with every card or letter we receive from someone who’s grateful for the assistance our personnel have provided and the kindness our personnel have shown We ask that all of our members commit to volunteering 600 hours per year, typically in a scheduled weekly 12 hour shift. We offer flexible scheduling and make every effort to accommodate our member's lives outside of the fire house. If you’re a college student in the DC area and your home is elsewhere, it’s possible to take EMS or firefighter classes and to fulfill the volunteer staffing commitment during the school year. If you work a full time job we offer shifts that are overnight and/or on weekends, and we also offer flexible scheduling to help our members meet our requirements around their schedule. We also ask that members show a pattern of regular advancement during their first year in the fire service. This means committing to training such as EMT class, HAZMAT operations class, technology training courses, and additional classes and check offs that may require some extra time commitment. Lastly, our members are asked to participate in at least three special events per year. Two of these events are our bingo fundraiser in September and our open house in October. There are additional events that take place year round including our santa runs, special event stand-bys, spring cleaning, large scale training drills, and more. | Categories: Firefighter, EMT
