2026 Special Tribute Program

Today we had the privilege of attending the 2026 Special Tribute hosted by the Prince George’s County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association (PGCVF&RA) and the Ladies Auxiliary of the Prince George’s County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association (LAPGCVF&RA). This program is dedicated to recognizing those whose service, leadership, and commitment have made a lasting impact on the volunteer fire and rescue service in Prince George’s County.

This year’s honorees represent the very best of our fire service family. Their dedication, countless hours of volunteerism, and unwavering support of their departments and communities embody what the volunteer service is all about.
