SFDFD BUILDING UPDATE

The Sykesville-FreedomDistrict Fire Department continues to provide quality emergency services to the community after the February 11, 2010 fire that destroyed much of our station.

The architectural firm of Manns Woodward Studios has designed a beautiful facility that is now rising from the ashes. Phase One of construction has been completed. This phase features new living quarters for the fire department, including a new bunk room, shower and toilet facilities.

When completed, the new facility will feature new administrative and day space for operations. The new facility will also boast a larger and more attractive social hall, appropriately named "The Phoenix" available for rent.
