The Jessup Volunteer Fire Company was founded in the early 1900s when the residents of this Baltimore County community recognized that their safety depended on their own readiness. What started as a handful of volunteers with modest equipment has grown into a well-trained, well-equipped department serving thousands of residents.
Through decades of change — urban development, modernized equipment, evolving emergency protocols — one thing has remained constant: the unwavering commitment of the men and women who wear the Jessup badge. They leave their homes, their families, and their livelihoods to answer the alarm, because this community is their home and these are their neighbors.
Today, the company continues to recruit, train, and serve — preserving a proud tradition while embracing the innovations that keep responders and the public safe.
