The episode features conversations with the NVFC’s own Dr. Candice McDonald and fellow volunteer firefighter/EMT Jonathan Dayton, as they delve into the motivations, experiences, and benefits of being a fire service volunteer. It also encourages the public to visit www.makemeafirefighter.org to learn more and find a local opportunity.

This weekend, during one of the most severe winter storms in recent years, Anne Arundel County
volunteer firefighters stepped up when our community needed them most.
As snow and ice made roads dangerous or impassable, volunteers across the county expanded
emergency response by placing into service:
• 12 additional utility vehicles and brush trucks
• 6 additional ambulances
• 7 additional suppression units
    
These added resources helped ensure residents could still receive emergency care and that responders could operate safely in extremely hazardous conditions.
Thank you to every volunteer firefighter who answered the call, committed their time, and served their neighbors during this storm. Your dedication made a real difference.
