In July of 1924, the fire company purchased a Mack chain drive fire truck from Mack fire truck of New York. The truck was paid for from proceeds of three carnivals the third in 1927. The first real work it did was at the Ocean city fire of 1925 which destroyed the Pier and Congress Hall among other places. The truck pumped water for 11 hours nonstop. The fire company still owns this truck; it has been refurbished, and is referred to as the Old Mack.

In July 1925, the Berlin Fireman's Band was organized under the supervision Mr. Frank Sacca. All members who were not active members of the fire company were named as honorary members. For a number of years the band played in numerous parades and concerts in the area.

The fire company continued growing adding equipment when possible and became involved in the Maryland State fireman's association, the Delmarva Volunteer Fireman's association, and was instrumental in forming the Worcester County Fireman's Association.

In 1964, the fire company took on the challenge of providing ambulance service to the Berlin area after Mrs. Anna Burbage announced that she was quitting the ambulance business. Quickly, using the same fortitude as our founders, the fire company raised the money and purchased a 1964 Cadillac ambulance for $18,000.

By 1972 the amount of calls required the hiring of a full time person. One of our own, Clayton Collins "Mr. Clayty" was hired and worked for us until his retirement in 1984.

In 1967 the fire company built the building which serves as our headquarters today. In 1990 we expanded by building our Station 2 which is located on Rt. 611 and houses a pumper in order to quicken our response time to the Sinepuxent, South Point, and Snug Harbor area. In order to accommodate our growth, in 1992, an addition was built onto our headquarters building.

In 2008, the fire company started renting a building just off of Rt. 50 east of Stephen Decatur High School. This building houses a pumper and ladder truck. The fire company has purchased property east of this location in July 2010 to build a fire house in order to continue to protect that area of our fire district.

Today the fire company has 3 ambulances along with nine pieces of equipment including a 55' ladder truck and a 100' ladder platform and a state of the art rescue truck. We have a 4500 gallon tanker on order which should arrive in the early winter of 2010. All of these vehicles cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each. Out of necessity we are growing and adding to our fleet. Each year every volunteer participates in hundreds of hours of drilling and training.

The fire company consists of 68 active members and 15 cadets. We are supported by the Berlin Fire Company Auxiliary. On staff we employ 5 full time paramedics, 4 EMT-B/Firefighters, and a part time administrative assistant.

Our ambulances run over 1200 calls each year. We respond to over 300 calls for service annually.
