The Baltimore County Fire Department (B.Co.F.D.) provides fire protection and emergency medical services to the 800,000 residents of Baltimore County, Maryland.[1] The department consists of both county operated and full-time staffed stations and independent volunteer companies located throughout the county.[2]

As of 2019, it had 1,043 members.[3] In 2022, the department responded to 155,066 calls for help, 105,776 of which were EMS related.[2]

Sworn in as fire chief on July 1, 2019, Joanne R. Rund became the first female chief to be permanently appointed to the position.[4][5]

In June 2023 a vote of no confidence was taken, issued by the firefighter's union, criticizing the fire chiefs for poor morale, inconsistent disciplinary procedures, unsafe decisions and falsifying documents.[6][7]
