In 1937, Chief Fred Henderson had been appointed by the Mayor and Council to seek a location for a new firehouse. This was after Chief Henderson expressed concerns to the City that the company had out-grown the Willow Street location that served as home since 1908 (formerly located behind the First National Bank, now a vacant lot). A location was selected on 5th Street between Market Street and Walnut Street and the project was taken on under the Works Progress Administration. The 5th Street Firehouse was the proud home to our organization from September 4, 1939 until April 26, 2008. On April 27, 2008 the PCVFC dedicated the new 16,500 square foot station located on Market Street.
For over 130 years, the volunteers of the PCVFC have continuously served the citizens of Pocomoke City and the surrounding areas. PCVFC is actively seeking new members to join our ranks. We have positions available for Firefighters, Auxiliary Members as well as Cadets. If you’re interested in joining our company, please contact us directly.

The company posts on their Facebook page: We are proud to maintain such a great partnership with Pocomoke City EMS and MSP Aviation to make incidents like this flow smoothly!
