Support Your Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire Department

About the Sandy Spring VFD

The SSVFD is a volunteer, non-profit fire, rescue and EMS department with a primary response area that includes the Olney, Sandy Spring, Ashton, Leisure Hill, and surrounding communities. We respond over 6,000 calls for service annually across our response area. Your contributions are a key part of sustaining and growing an exceptionally busy volunteer organization with highly trained and dedicated members, and help us to invest in life-saving equipment to enable our community to grow and flourish.

Your Donation Makes a Difference

The SSVFD relies on donations from our community and various year-round fund raising programs to support every aspect of our Department. We have grown to keep up with the community, and we need the support to continue to grow as the community does.

We continue to proactively invest in equipment, people, and training to help you when you need it the most.

If you call for help at night or the weekends, it’s likely a volunteer will answer the call. As the community grows and ages, we get more calls. This translates into more wear and tear on the equipment and the need for new equipment and to replace old equipment.

The county only provides a fraction of the advanced equipment we have for the Olney / Sandy Spring community. Having this capability as water boats, ATVs, tanker truck, and a new state of the art aerial tower allows for greater response with specialized equipment to help you and your family when you need it the most.

We are always planning for the future. New fire equipment can cost upwards of $1 million. Your generous support helps the department stay state of the art and safe for the years to come.

Your donations help fund advanced life-saving equipment, safe modern facilities, specialized training and advanced fire equipment.
