Capitol Heights Station to Lose Career Staffing

On July 27, 2009 the Capitol Heights Volunteer Fire Department, the citizens of Capitol Heights, and surrounding communities learned through an official Prince George’s County Fire/EMS Department press release that career staffing would be removed from the Capitol Heights fire station (Station 805) on August 2, 2009. While we have not received official notice from the department, we have petitioned Fire Chief Eugene Jones to reconsider his decision and have asked our local and state leaders for their support.
