Welcome to the Official website of the Laytonsville District VFD
Since our founding in May of 1952, the Laytonsville District VFD has relied on the community for support. Once again, we are turning to you, our neighbors, our community, our friends for that support. On January 13, we kicked off a capital campaign to raise funds for a major renovation and expansion project at the station.
As the years have gone on since the current station was built in 1965, our volunteer membership has increased consistently, while the functional living and working spaces of the fire station have remained basically the same. Through our current fundraising efforts, we have raised approximately $500,000 of the expected close to $2 million cost of the renovation and expansion.
Our project includes an expansion of almost 2800 square feet, with the renovation of our current 3000 square foot station living and working area.
Quoting Chief Stanley S. Sutton, Jr., 'We have simply outgrown the station. This project will allow us to train, learn, and serve the community more effectively. We all want to be here as much as possible, and this expansion will allow us to be here more, which will help us serve the community more efficiently and effectively.'
Please consider making a contribution to our Building Fund. Checks can be mailed to:
