About us:
The Mount Rainier Volunteer Fire Department, Inc., Prince Georges County Company 3, is one of two independent volunteer corporations operating out of the Bunker Hill Fire Station.

The station operates an Engine and Ambulance with both volunteer and career personnel. The first due response area for the Bunker Hill Fire Station encompasses the towns of Mt. Rainier, Brentwood, North Brentwood, Cottage City and Colmar Manor.
We are seeking community minded people with a desire to serve their community in the noblest way. Volunteer positions are currently available for Firefighter/EMS, EMS only and administrative members.
We are close to the University of Maryland (4 miles), The Catholic University (3 miles), Howard University (5 miles) and Prince Georges Community College (9 miles) to name a few.
We have Metro Bus service at our front door and are close to the Rhode Island Avenue and West Hyattsville Metro stations.

LIVE IN OPPORTUNITY... Although we would like to recruit people with prior experience, no experience is necessary for new members. BUT... if the new member has prior experiance, they would be eligable for our live in program. We have two fully furnished, one person dorm rooms (currently vacant), along with two community dorm rooms, one co-ed, and one for female only.
All training and equipment are provided free of charge. All it takes is a desire to serve your community and a few hours a week! If you have a few spare hours a week and would like to make a difference in your community and make new lifelong friendships, come and see what we have to offer. The only thing it will cost you is a few minutes of your time.
Reciprocity consideration is given to people from other local jurisdictions and people from out of state that already have training and experience.
If you are interested in a student live-in program or just looking for a place to hang your hat, we have two fully furnished dorm rooms (currently available). We also have ample space in our bunk room, with a separate female only bunkroom. To qualify for the live in program you must have exerience and be ready to become operational as soon as you clear the membership process.
If you are a community minded person looking to help your neighbor, WE NEED YOU!
