Spotlight on Excellence
Legacy forged at Baltimore, MD
Rescue 1's first quarters were built by the Howard Fire Company in 1830. Engine 1 would eventually move into their brand new quarters at 323 North Paca St. in 1908, calling it home until 1973. Rescue 1 also operates the BCFD's Collapse Rescue Unit: Collapse 1, equipped to handle complex trench and collapse disasters.
Every month we elevate a firehouse whose story deserves the spotlight. Members receive museum-grade coins and patches backed by the crews who live the job.
