The Prince George's County Fire/Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Department, in observance of Veterans Day, wishes to acknowledge and thank all of America's Veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
The Department has a significant number of Veterans amongst our volunteer and career personnel that have bravely served our Country in many different capacities. They continue to serve as firefighters, EMTs and medics here in Prince George's County.
We also have four firefighters that are currently deployed or have recently returned from deployment. Paul Cruz and Phyllis Jenkins are deployed and Catherine Crilley and Jujuan Cunnigham just returned. We hope to highlight each one of these Veterans during the month of November.

Crilley just recently returned from her 2nd deployment to Afghanistan. her first deployment was from 2009 - 2010 and just returned from her second deployment which started in 2014.
