The Branchville Fire Company is located in College Park, Maryland Prince George’s County. We serve a large and busy metropolitan area. Station 11’s first due consists of a variety of residential communities, commercial buildings, industrial parks, and multiple story structures and multiple apartment complexes and even parts of the University of Maryland. We also provide mutual aid to other departments first dues.

We currently utilize two Engines, two ambulances, a support vehicle, and three chiefs’ cars. The company responds to about 4500 calls a year, with the number of Engine calls equaling the number of Ambulance calls making Branchville one of a kind in the fire service. These numbers are increasing with the growing community we serve along with mutual aid our station provides to other stations.

We provide automatic mutual aid to stations in the 4th,6th and 2nd battalions with our Engines and Ambulances. These services ranging from fire suppression, medical calls, trauma calls, car accidents, hazardous materials emergencies, non-emergency service calls to assist the public, and public safety education.
