It’s all-volunteer.Located in Prince George's County, Maryland, Kentland prides itself on high standards.How do they do all this?Here to answer that question is Alex Caldaro, the Truck 33 Sergeant. He’s a fifteen-year veteran of the fire service who also works at Wilson’s Mills Fire Department in Clayton, North Carolina, where he’s Captain of Ladder 5.
