Welcome to the King George County Department of Fire, Rescue & Emergency Services web page. The department is a combination of volunteer and paid and is comprised of many dedicated men and women.
Combined Operations
In June of 2008, the King George County Board of Supervisors enacted an ordinance that combined all fire and rescue operations throughout the County. Today, our team of dedicated men and women, both volunteer and paid staff, work side-by-side at all three stations to ensure adequate fire and EMS protection. The members of our department continually strive to become more proficient and take various fire and EMS training programs to ensure their readiness. If you are interested in joining our team as a volunteer or as a paid firefighter or EMT, we encourage you to apply.
