The West Annapolis Fire & Improvement Company, Inc. was founded in 1911. Although this is the legal incorporated name of the company, it is also referred to as the West Annapolis Volunteer Fire Department (WAVFD). It was originally located in West Annapolis and was part of what became the Annapolis Fire Department. In 1973 it moved to its current location on Jennifer Road and became part of the Anne Arundel County Fire Department.

The mission of this Organization is the preservation of life, property and the environment, as well as public education and awareness.
This company, designated as Company 40, is part of the Anne Arundel County fire department. We provide emergency services primarily to Anne Arundel County, but also respond mutual aid to surrounding jurisdictions such as Annapolis City, Queen Anne County, Howard County, Prince Georges County, the U.S. Naval Academy, and Fort Meade.
