Welcome to the Branchville Volunteer Fire Company’s live-in program. This program is offered for active, riding members, with special accommodations for full-time college students. Live-in members are provided with free living quarters in exchange for committing to a certain staffing requirement each week.
Branchville’s living quarters are separated into two sections: one for regular live-in members, and the other for members that may be staffing the station for a night or two. The live-in section has been designed to accomodate members with various occupations, including full-time college students.
Branchville is located in College Park, Prince George’s County, Maryland. The station is under a mile from The University of Maryland, and University of Maryland University College. Both campuses are a short walk on a paved lit path or an even shorter drive.
