The Firehouse

Three fire trucks are parked outside a brick fire station with the number 33 displayed above the garage doors. The trucks have red and white markings, and the fire station is surrounded by trees and other buildings.

A large white fire truck with the number 33 on the front is parked outside a fire station. The building behind it also displays the number 33 and a sign about 20 years of service.

Four white fire trucks with red stripes and the number 33 are parked in a row on a paved lot beside a grassy area, with trees and a cloudy sky in the background.

A fire truck labeled "33" is parked inside a brick fire station bay, beneath a sign that reads "Tower Ladder 33" with "Established 1988" above the entrance.

Four vintage red fire trucks are parked outside a brick fire station with an open garage door. A red car is also visible. The sign on the building reads "Kentland Volunteer Fire Dept." Trees and blue sky are in the background.

Kentland 33 is located at 7701 Landover Road in Landover, Maryland. The station has three double bays and two single bays where all fire apparatus is stored. Living accommodations include room for 25 live-in members, 17 of which are single person rooms. The firehouse also has all the normal necessities found in a home such as a TV room, two kitchens and 4 bathrooms.

In addition there is a game/workout room and offices for both operational and administrative officers. On average 15 to 20 members live at the firehouse, something unique to metropolitan DC volunteer departments. Members living at the station trade off having no living expenses (Rent, phone, electric, etc.) for staffing during their free time.
