Welcome to United Communities Volunteer Fire Department
 

United Communities VFD New Web Site

Saturday, July 3, 2010  The officers and members of the United Communities Volunteer Fire Department would like to welcome everyone to our new web site. We hope this web site will be a valuable tool in communicating with our membership, the community, and other stations within Queen Anne's County.
 
We are still in the process of updating, and constructing this web site so please be patient if a section you are interested in is not completed now. It will be shortly.
 
On this web site you will find helpful downloads, and a list of upcoming events within the fire department. We will also post meetings or event information for the community associations within our first due area.
 
Our hope is for this web site to be a useful tool for information and education for our users.
 
We would like to thank Fire Companies for their help in designing this site.

Progress

Saturday, July 17, 2010  We are making progress on updating our look inside.  UVCFD if proud to announce we will soon have a new meeting/training room upstairs.  We received a grant from the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company and Papa John's Pizza to help us purchase new tables and chairs for this room.  Glenn Jones, Vice President of Operations recommended UCVFD for this grant. In addition to the table and chairs, we have installed new audiovisual equipment to aid in presentations, and training needs for our department, surrounding departments, as well as local community organizations. We have many community organizations that utilize our meeting room, and they will find it more conducive to their needs as well. In addition to the meeting/training room, we will be relocating our Fire Chief upstairs to a new office.  This will allow us to establish a tv room for duty crews at the station downstairs, thus giving them a quicker and safer in station response. This is just the beginning of our renovations, stay tune for more photos as work completes.
