Changes are coming to several stations at Maryland’s Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service.
Starting July 13, MCFRS Chief Corey Smedley said career firefighters from the Hyattstown Volunteer Fire Department in Clarksburg will shift over to the Rockville-Aspen Hill area to meet increased calls for service there.
Asked about what happens to the Hyattstown community, Smedley told WTOP that the Hyattstown station will remain open, though staffed by volunteers. The new Clarksburg fire station, which opened in November of 2024, will also provide added coverage to the Hyattstown area.
“That station is state-of the art, with brand-new equipment,” Smedley said of the Clarksburg facility.
