Multiple members of your Prince George’s County Volunteer Marine Fire and Rescue
Department are pursuing higher education opportunities while also working part or full time jobs
in addition to volunteering their time to serve our community. Today we will be specifically
appreciating one of our current members, Samantha Farren (She/They), who serves with our
department as an Operations Lieutenant and the Executive Officer to the Chief of Department.
Outside of her services to our community she is a full time student in the Fire Protection
Engineering Program at the University of Maryland where she also holds two part time
employment positions as a Laboratory Technician for FireTec and Student Coordinator within
the Office of Global Engineering Leadership.
Samantha often travels immediately to and from the firehouse between shifts in order to
attend classes and work. This year Samantha represented all first responders and blue collar
workers who are tenacious in their pursuit of higher education opportunities whilst maintaining
their employment and service obligations by being included in advertisements for the Fire
Protection Engineering Department. Your volunteers here at the Prince George’s County
Volunteer Marine Fire and Rescue Department are proud to appreciate all aspects of our
community/department members lives!
