A Brief History of Braddock Heights, Maryland

Braddock Heights Volunteer Fire Company was formed in 1910 and incorporated in 1947.    In 1950 they built the fire hall and added on to it in later years.    The fire hall was located at 5707 Jefferson Blvd.    Then in 1986, they built a new modern structure located at 5717 Jefferson Blvd.    The old station was sold in 1987 and it is now occupied by a day-care center.

During World War II and the Korean War, the ladies joined the fire company and manned the apparatus in the absence of men.

Their first piece of apparatus was a 1947 Chevrolet 500 g.p.m. pumper.    This company had a 1948 Ford 500 g.p.m. pumper, 1957 International 500 g.p.m. pumper and a 1970 International Brush truck.

Their membership is around 60 members.    Today, the Braddock Heights Volunteer Fire Department operates three pumpers and a brush truck.    These trucks are a 1970 Jeep 4x4 brush unit, 1976 International Ward / LaFrance 500 g.p.m., 500-gallon tank pumper, and a 1976 International / Pierce 750 g.p.m., 1000-gallon tank pumper.    Also owned is a recently purchased 1990 Grumman Panther II 1250 g.p.m. waterous pump with a 1000-gallon water tank pumper.
