A Comprehensive Tour
Lutherville Volunteer Fire Company is a 100% volunteer organization that has been serving North-Central Baltimore County since 1909. As volunteers, They are committed to the same vigorous training requirements and operate under the same expectations as our counterparts in the career service. Comprised of over 100 active members, their ranks are gleaned from across the occupational spectrum of the community; carpenters, doctors, plumbers, students, businessmen, and even career firefighters unite in service by protecting the people and property of their community. They are one of 35 volunteer fire companies working alongside 24 career stations to provide an integrated emergency response network for Baltimore County. Responding to emergencies in residences, businesses, and industrial sites, LVFC protects and serves 30,000 people over 45 square miles. Because they are one of few stations to be equipped for “Heavy Rescue” and our strategic location near the junction I-695 and I-83, They are often called to severe accidents throughout the area using our specialty truck, Squad 303, which You will see in a Station Rigs episode. This vehicle is equipped with heavy-duty cutting and spreading tools as well as a HYDRAULIC CRAIN at allows us to respond to severe accidents with people trapped involving a variety of vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, and tractor-trailers. LVFC strives to support and establish a positive presence in the community by participating in local events such as the Towson 4th of July parade, the Towson town Festival, and community block parties. The LVFC also continues educating their community about fire safety, holding fire safety education classes for the local schools, and opening the doors for special events like Blood Drives to give back to the communities.

Lutherville has basically had a Squad equipped with a crane since I was born. That's over 5 decades. Howard County Rescue Squad 5 had a Kenworth that was equipped with a crane as well. Maryland was always home to some monster squads. Gotta love the the Roto Ray's and twin Mars 888's on the suppression pieces.👍🇺🇸

1000 gallons (3800 liters) would be a dream. Our smallest firetruck has 200 gallons (750 liters) and our biggest firetruck has 500 gallons (2000 liters).😅 There are also bigger ones, but not in our department. Greetings from Germany
Not only an impressive station, the Doctor is very knowledgeable. The Dr. really knows the fire service, equipment, etc…

Great To See You Guys Feature A Local Company, Great Work! If you’re ever in the area again another unique company would definitely be Chestnut Ridge Vol Fire Company which houses a Engine,Engine Tanker, Tanker Support Unit,Medic Unit, ATV And More. What Makes This Station Unique Is They Are The Only Volunteer Company That Typically Specializes In Mass Casualty Incidents. S.O.R.T. 50 (Special Operations Response Team) In Baltimore County. They Also Are One Of A Few Stations In The Area Who Utilize Drones For Search & Rescue Operations As Well As EMS Bikes 🚴 For Various Large Scale Events.

the county has 30 stations ( was 33 ) that are completely volunteer. The county also has about 20 stations that are paid ( career ) . interestingly enough, a fair amount of career members ( as is seen in this video ) are also volunteers in the county.
It's amazing people still are able to volunteer so much of their free time to what is essentially a part time job.

That's an impressive firehouse. I'm interested to know more about the USA fire departments and how they run. Amazing dedication by volunteer crews, but i just don't understand how a house that busy with amazing facilities and obviously funding, doesn't pay its members but the county department does. Also how do they always manage to have a crew on station if its voluntary? Thanks again. A great video.

This is a beautiful and very thoughtfully planned out fire station. Possibly the nicest station I have seen on your channel! This community is very lucky to have such a great fire station. I was wondering if you have ever thought of coming out west to some place such as Seattle? Seattle fire stations 10, 14, and 5 for examples would be great to tour. Seattle also just became a class 1 fire department last summer. Just a thought or suggestion.

Karsten, I live and volunteer 25 minutes west of here. In America it is not as regulated for the fire service like Germany is. The individual volunteer fire company's can decide what best suits their needs. There are jurisdictional and national standards a type of fire truck must meet. The trucks are built with the area and operational needs that have been identified. This fire company has 3 ladder trucks that border them 2 are paid 1 is volunteer. It also depends on funding.
