Department careers page ↗The Aberdeen Proving Ground Fire Division operates as part of the installation's Directorate of Emergency Services, serving as the all-hazards emergency response agency for the Army post. Firefighters and emergency responders here answer both natural and man-made disaster calls, deliver pre-hospital emergency medical care, and run fire-prevention education programs for the APG community.
Because Aberdeen Proving Ground is a unique Army testing and development installation, the Fire Division's role extends beyond a typical municipal department: crews support the integrity of ongoing test and evaluation missions on post while still covering standard structural, EMS, and disaster response duties for the roughly 21005-area community around Aberdeen and Edgewood.
The department operates around the clock, with separate non-emergency contact lines for its Aberdeen and Edgewood coverage areas, reflecting the installation's split geography.
MissionProtect the lives, property and environment of our citizens while supporting the integrity of our unique testing and development environment. We will respond as an all-hazards emergency response agency to all natural and man-made disasters, provide pre-hospital emergency medical care, and reinforce education through prevention.
As part of a U.S. Army installation, Aberdeen Proving Ground Fire Division positions are federal civilian jobs filled through the Army's civilian hiring system rather than a local municipal application process. The department's own site directs applicants to general Army employment listings on USAJOBS.gov for current openings.
