It is with great sadness that the Officers and Members of the Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire Department notify you of the passing of Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire Department Life Member Clifford Eugene “Gene” Arrowood on August 2, 2022. He was 82. May he rest in peace!

Gene served Sandy Spring VFD since 1962, both as an active member, a corporation employee, and more recently, as a Life Member. Gene was always there when the Department needed him and his lifelong commitment to SSVFD will be sorely missed.

Since this has just occurred, arrangements have not been made but will be shared as soon as we receive them. Please join the Officers and Members of the SSVFD in offering the Arrowood Family our sincerest condolences from his Fire Department.

In memory of Gene, black bunting and a yellow fire helmet hang above the entrance to SSVFD Station 4.
