HistoryIn 1742, the town of Bladensburg became the first governmental entity to pass a fire prevention ordinance. The simple ordinance stipulated that all residential and commercial buildings had to be equipped with a smoke chimney. In 1886, the town of Hyattsville organized the first volunteer fire company in the county. With a donated budget of $27, the fire company bought a two-wheeled hand truck equipped with a barrel, pump, and hose. Two years later, in 1888, the town of Upper Marlboro organized the Marlboro Fire Association following two major town fires. John C. Wyvill had the first fire station built at a cost of $342. It wasn't until the 1930s that the County organized its fire services at is known today. The University of Maryland created a Fire Service Extension to train firefighters and is widely regarded as a focal point for fire training for departments located east of the Mississippi River. In 1966 the county incorporated paid firefighters within its volunteer force based on the Yarger Study which stated:
The Department of Fire Protection was created on June 14, 1968 which consumed all other previous fire organizations under a single command.[5] In May 2009, the PGFD received local media attention following a massive natural gas explosion at a Forestville stripmall. PGFD Captain Robert Rouse (Engine 823) was one of 8 firefighters and 1 gas worker injured during the event.[6][7] List of fire chiefs{{columns-list|colwidth=25em|
}} OrganizationThe Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department is composed of 4 distinct commands, Emergency Operations, Administrative Services,Support Services, and Volunteer Services. Each of the commands are headed by a Deputy Fire Chief (formerly known as Lt. Colonel) who reports directly to the Fire Chief.[8] OperationsThe Emergency Operations Command (EOC) is the largest and most visible to the public. The EOC includes daily operations and of all emergency services, both Fire and EMS. The EOC incorporates both sworn career and volunteer Firefighter/EMT's. The EOC is further split into Northern and Southern Divisions. The dividing line between North and South within the fire department is Pennsylvania Avenue or Maryland Route 4 Within each division there are a set of battalions, Battalions 1,2,4,and 6 are located in the Northern Division and Battalions 3,5,and 7 are located within the Southern Division. "The PGFD's busiest service areas are located within Battalions 1,3,and 5 which includes the area commonly bordered by the District line to the west, Central Avenue to the north, the Capitol Beltway to the east, and Allentown Road to the South. These areas represent better than 60% of the PGFD's total calls for service, as they contain the highest population densities."[8] BattalionsThe Prince George's County Fire/Emergency Medical Services Department is organized into seven battalions. A breakdown of the battalions into communities and stations within the county is as follows:

EquipmentThe PGFD is a progressive agency with a full complement of modern fire training, equipment, and vehicles. PGFD predominately uses volunteer owned apparatus, as volunteer agencies within PGFD often purchase their own apparatus. Two-thirds of all suppression apparatus in Prince George's County are volunteer-owned. 69 of 90 engines within the PGFD are owned by volunteer organizations, and 14 of 25 aerial apparatus are owned by volunteers. Ambulance units respond to Basic Life Support calls and are staffed with certified Maryland EMTs. Medic units respond to Advanced Life Support calls such as respiratory problems or cardiac arrest, and are staffed with certified Maryland Paramedics. Engine companies respond to both EMS calls and fire calls. Ladder companies respond to calls involving fires or an odor of gas within a structure. Rescue squads and rescue engines respond to incidents generally described as more life-threatening such as motor vehicle crashes or entrapments. A special service unit(Truck/Tower/Rescue/Rescue Engine) can act as Rapid Intervention Team units on a working fire if needed. The Rapid Intervention Team is normally the 4th due engine combined with the special service apparatus dispatched once a working fire is confirmed.
