Support Hyattstown Volunteer Fire Department
Hyattstown’s safety is at risk — and your voice can make a difference.
Montgomery County’s plan to remove all career firefighter and paramedic staff from the Hyattstown Volunteer Fire Department will leave our community without the 24/7 protection we rely on.
Our volunteers are ready. Our community is strong. But we need your help to show County leaders that Hyattstown deserves full-time emergency services — just like every other part of Montgomery County.
Here's how you can help:
✅ Sign the Petition
Add your name to our growing list of residents, neighbors, and supporters demanding that Montgomery County retain the four-person career staffing at the Hyattstown Volunteer Fire Department. Every signature counts.
✅ Write to Elected Officials
Let your elected officials know that Hyattstown deserves equal protection. Personal letters make a real impact.
