To accomplish our mission it will be our duty to demand personal commitment, good morale character, pride, honesty and teamwork from each and every member of the organization regardless of rank or position. We shall never allow race, color, creed, sex, age, lifestyle, national origin, or economic status to cloud our judgment or affect our decisions. Everyone will be treated fairly with compassion and respect. We shall always demand excellence of service to the citizens and community we serve. DID YOU KNOW? You are protected by an all volunteer fire service and a combination paid/volunteer EMS service of 175 men and women. With nearly 8,000 fire and EMS emergency responses a year the BAVFC is not only the busiest volunteer company in Harford County but one of the busiest in Maryland. We respond to approximately 24 fire and EMS emergency calls per day. All of the BAVFC fire officers have an average experience time in the fire service of 18 years. All of the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company fire officers meet or greatly exceed the nationally recognized standards for fire officer training. All officers are required to take continuing education each year to maintain their elected position. Each officer responds to over 400 calls a year with some in excess of over 1,400 calls per year. Approximately 25% of all of our fire members are firefighters in career/paid departments in Baltimore Co, Baltimore City, AA County, Howard County, Washington DC, APG, Perry Point, and Fort Meade, BWI and Dulles/National Airports. Some are also officers within those departments. When these members leave their 40+ hour a week job at their career firehouse, they come home and do it a whole lot more – this time for free. One of our members is a retired Baltimore City Fire Captain who has been chosen to lead a fire service in Iraq while another member is an Operations Chief for the Naval Fire Department.
