The Howard County Department of Fire and Rescue Services provides fire protection, rescue, and emergency medical services to Howard County, Maryland.[1]

History

On July 10, 1888, Ellicott City citizens formed The Volunteer Fire Company of Ellicott City No. 1. On August 24, 1888, authorization was granted to purchase a hand-drawn ladder wagon from the Charles T. Holloway Company, Baltimore, Maryland. The wagon arrived on October 5, 1888, and was based in the old foundry. The first firehouse built in Ellicott City was constructed in 1896 with a cupola to house a firebell donated by the B&O railroad to summon firemen.[2]

In 1924, the Howard County Volunteer Fireman's Association was formed operating out of a new combination firehouse and transit terminal on Main street in Ellicott City with an $10,500 600 gallon American LaFrance triple combination engine.[3] Insurance agent Benjamin Mellor became the first fire chief serving until 1934.[4] In April 1940, a new fire station was dedicated in Ellicott City.[5]

On 18 April 1959, the Central Alarm went into operation in an office above the Ellicott City Jail.[6]

In 1991, the department implemented a customer service program, more commonly found in the commercial industry.[7] In 1996, Fire Chief Joseph Herr is replaced by Bill Goddard.[8] In 2014 the criteria for contingent firefighters that supplement volunteer stations without benefits changed to require the same qualifications as career staff, promoting the departure of 33 of 34 contingent staff primarily from Lisbon and West Friendship.[9]
