The Prince George’s County Fire/Emergency Medical Services
(EMS) Department recently held three groundbreaking for new public safety
facilities. Construction for all three facilities is scheduled to start in 2017 with completion in 2018.
On a beautiful, bright and brisk Monday morning a groundbreaking
ceremony was held to ceremoniously start the construction of a new Prince
George's County Community Fire/EMS Station. On Monday, November 7, Prince
George's County officials spoke at the site of the soon to be built Fire/EMS
Station 851, near the entrance to Oxon Hill High School on Clipper Way.
The Oxon Hill Community Fire/EMS Station #851 is slated to be a
4-bay design similar to other recently constructed County facilities such as
Brandywine, St. Joes, Northview and District Heights. Construction will
start in 2017 with a completion date projected in late 2018. The Oxon Hill
Community Fire/EMS Station is slated to house an engine, ladder, truck,
ambulance and Battalion Chief. To see a video of this groundbreaking ceremony click here. Additional images of this event can be viewed here.

joined public safety leaders Mark Magaw, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer
for Public Safety; Marc Bashoor, Fire Chief; and Hank Stawinski, Police Chief
in breaking ground for a new Public Safety Pier at National Harbor in Oxon
Hill. This project will provide a
launching point for fire, EMS and public safety watercraft. Many thanks to the Peterson Companies and
