Serving the Greater Bethesda – Chevy Chase Community Since 1926.
The Bethesda Fire Department, Inc. (BFD) helps save lives three ways in cooperation with Montgomery County’s Fire and Rescue Services and with thanks for your tax-deductible contributions.
- BFD's resources and expertise augment the equipment, maintenance and general care of County firefighting equipment and professional firefighters who operate from BFD stations.
- BFD sponsors fire prevention education programs for children, seniors, office workers and retail establishments. Our classic 1926 American LaFrance Engine, BFD's first pumper, livens up many community events throughout the year.
- Fire and Rescue personnel and equipment are based at three stations that BFD owns and operates. Station 6, BFD headquarters, is at the prominent corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Bradley Blvd. Station 26 sits along Democracy Boulevard next to I270. Station 20 is on Old Georgetown Road at Cedar Lane.
BFD is led by an unpaid community-based board of directors. Most board members represent residential constituent communities of Bethesda and Chevy Chase like Somerset, Wyngate and Edgemoor, and the business community through the BCC Chamber of Commerce and the Bethesda Urban Partnership.
Tax-deductible contributions make BFD’s activities possible.
