The Bowie Servers was formed in October 2002 with four members. Currently, the group has more than a dozen members. Accomplishments include assisting on calls including house fires, building collapses and hazardous materials incidents. Other functions include "Lunch with Santa", "Lunch with The Easter Bunny", and being very active within Public Relations. Recently, we acquired a van to support our missions. While a small group, the BVFD Auxiliary is very dedicated.

Auxiliary member are primarily responsible to support the department's operational personnel on the scene when required. This includes providing beverages, food and other support as needed. The Auxiliary serves all three Bowie VFD stations with fundraising, public relations and public education.

Starting in October 2003, the Auxiliary is going to be involved with a project known as "Risk Watch" which is geared towards preventing childhood injuries. This program is a part of the State of Maryland's effort, along with the National Fire Protection Association, to help reduce injury to children.

Men and Women ages 16 and older can join the Auxiliary Support Team. Ages 16 to 18 can assist with in-house activities that the auxiliary is involved in. Ages 18 and older can be of administrative support and operations support at any of the three Bowie Volunteer Fire Department stations.
