The Hampstead Volunteer Fire Engine & Hose Company No. 1 is dedicated to protecting and preserving the lives, property, and environment of the citizens and visitors of the communities to which we serve. We will achieve this by providing the highest levels of fire suppression, rescue services, and emergency medical care through continual training, public education, and emergency response.
The Hampstead Volunteer Fire Company has ushered in the new year in a big way! After many hours of training and laying out equipment, we have officially placed in service Engine 21. This is the culmination of a 5 year project that began in May of 2016. Engine 21 is a 2020 Seagrave (Capitol Cab) 1,500 GPM / 1,000 gallon tank engine. It is equipped with LED warning light package and all LED scene lighting.
HVFC would like to thank the North Carroll Hot Shots Fastpitch Softball organization for their generous $500 donation. The Hot Shots donated concession profits from a recent softball tournament they hosted.
HVFC has several members and their families that are active within the Hot Shots organization.
