It was 18 years ago that 343 firefighters died serving others. Unfortunately, there are many, many more who have died since from cancer and related issues from the attack. We remember all those who have given their lives…

RVFC attended the fireworks tonight.

Thanks to all that came out to the Reisterstown Parade for the start of the Reisterstown Festival. It is great to see so many people out to see the community.

Thanks to all those that came to visit us at National Night Out in Chartley. Kids and adults were excited to get up on a fire truck and asked great questions about what we do!

The Reisterstown Volunteer Fire Company is pleased to announce the order of its new Rescue Squad. The unit will feature a Seagrave Marauder II chassis and have a 20′ walk around Rescue 1 body. The squad committee has worked hard over the past two years to develop these specifications to fit the current and future needs of Reisterstown and the surrounding communities. The unit is replacing our iconic 1992 Peterbilt/Swab rescue squad which has served with distinction the citizens of Baltimore County for the last 27 years. Delivery of the unit is expected in the summer of 2020.

Features Include:

• Seagrave Marauder II 6 person full tilt cab
• 20′ Rescue 1 walk around rescue body

• 20,000 lb. rear mounted winch
• 9,000 lb. portable winch with multiple ports
