We are an all Volunteer Fire Company that is part of a small community on the Chesapeake Bay known as the "Home of the Skipjacks". Our team dedicates hours of time to trained and be prepared for that moment when lives and property are on the line and the community needs help.
Over 65 years of responding service to our community for Fires, Accidents, Medical Assistance, Marine Rescue Operations and weather related emergencies.
All funds raised help us to continue serving our community members no matter the reason. Proceeds from our fundraiser events are used to help us maintain our 100+ year old building and equipment as well as other operational costs that may arise including purchasing all the required PPE for medical and/or fire.
Located about 15 minutes from Princess Anne, station #4 can be found after a relaxing, scenic drive through forests, farmland, marshlands, and open water. You will also pass by many of our churches, such as Saint Stephen United Methodist Church, Somerset United Methodist Church in Dames Quarter, and Rock Creek Methodist Episcopal Church in Chance. As you cross over the bridge to Deal Island, you'll not only be greeted by the sunlight glistening off the pristine sound, but also by the many boats docked along the shore which tie deeply into our waterfront heritage. Continuing a little further though the tightly knit town of older homes, you will find yourself in front of the fire station, which is on the right. Deal Island Chance Volunteer Fire department is made up of dedicated volunteers who care about their community, their town, and their neighbors. It is this spirit that permeates through every resident of this area, and which makes it a great place to live, work, and play.
