The Rosedale Volunteer Fire Company was organized in 1930 and soon purchased a used engine. The engine was first housed at Heinbuch’s florist shop on Philadelphia Road, then in a wagon shed behind Seward’s store. The old Rosedale School was remodeled in 1935 as the new, now old, Rosedale Volunteer Fire Company station. In 1989, the new and current Rosedale Volunteer Fire Company location was completed. Its location is one-half mile east of the old station.

The current station houses 2 fire engines (281/282), 1 ambulance (285), and 1 special unit (283). Rosedale’s professional volunteers are as diverse as society itself. They currently include business owners and managers, professional engineers, state, county and city policemen, medical technologists, construction workers, career firefighters and paramedics, as well as many others.

The company’s call area extends from the Baltimore City line eastward along the Pulaski Highway corridor as well as Interstate 95 north to the Beltway. It runs as far north as Rossville and Overlea, and south to where Eastern Avenue meets the city line.
