The Prince George's County, Maryland, Fire/Emergency Medical Services Department were proud to be represented in the Badges and Ladders Basketball Tournament. The tournament was held on February 1, 2018 at the Capital One Arena, home court of the NBA Washington Wizards Basketball Team.

While the results were not what we had hoped for the Department can stand tall as a result of the enthusiasm, sportsmanship and skills demonstrated by Team PGFD.

Players included:

Marcus Greene 819-C

James Redman 841-A
Ramonz Height 843-A
Javon Height 835-A
Nate Davies 843-A

Tavaris Murray 846-A
Ronell Fayette 826-C
William Lewis 829-A
