Tuxedo-Cheverly Volunteer Fire Department (Maryland)

The Tuxedo-Cheverly Volunteer Fire Company was a volunteer fire department located in an unincorporated area of Prince George's County, Maryland known as Tuxedo. The department was organized in 1930 and department’s first fire station was constructed that same year. In 1968, a new fire station was constructed at 5711 Tuxedo Road, Hyattsville. The volunteers ceased operation in 1977, which resulted in the Prince George's County Fire / EMS Department (PGFD) assuming full control of the station. As such, Tuxedo-Cheverly became the first station to have full oversight by Prince George's County. The station was closed in August 2010. Prince George's County cited budget constraints, staffing redeployment needs, and nearby station overlap as the reasons for its closure. Firefighters and apparatus assigned to the station were reassigned to the new constructed Springdale fire station (Prince George’s County Station 806) after its closure.
