We are excited to announce that at last night’s special meeting, the Membership of the Burtonsville Volunteer Fire Department elected Jaewon Hong as President.

Jae joined the BVFD in August of 2013, completed the full EMT course and other required training to quickly earn his Charge Status. Recognizing we were short of trained firefighters, Jae then took the comprehensive Firefighter I and Firefighter II courses to become certified as a Firefighter. Next Jae completed the County’s comprehensive Emergency Vehicle Operators Course at the Training Academy.

He has been an incredibly valuable member of the BVFD team, both on the operational side and as a Board Member. We are grateful for all he has done for us and for the community and we look forward to the next twelve months under his leadership.

Congratulations Jae!
