my dad would take me to the firehouse. I’d work Bingos
on Friday nights, take trash out, clean the firehouse, or
the fire trucks. Every once in a while, I’d get lucky and
be able to ride with the fire chief.”
“I’ve been full throttle since then,” he said
When there weren’t any jobs available as a firefighter,
he became a DC police officer until a position opened
and he could take that dream full-time job.
He had that extensive family history. His father, a re-
tired state trooper who is now the company’s safety of-
ficer, has logged 40 years of service between Solomons,
North Beach and now Dunkirk. His grandfather, who
recently passed away, was the last living charter mem-
ber of Solomons fire department.
With that tradition, he said, “My family just wanted
me to be happy. My younger brother is also a paid fire-
man and also a volunteer here.”
Peterson didn’t have that family tradition. He grew
up in North Beach and wanted to join their department
when he was 16 but his mother wouldn’t sign off for
him until he finished his Eagle Scout requirements.
“The very moment I finished my Eagle stuff, I went
down to the firehouse, got an application, filled it out
and got voted in,” he said. That was almost exactly 18
years ago. He joined Dunkirk in 2005.
What was the attraction? He said, “I was looking for
something fulfilling, maybe as cliché as that sounds. As
a scout I got to learn community involvement and help-
ing others, being like a pillar within the community.”
Peterson admitted, “I like action. I like to do things
that actually mean something. My dad worked on com-
puters. That was not for me.”
While volunteering in North Beach he at first thought
he would like to be a teacher. But he said, “I decided
being a teacher wasn’t for me and riding firetrucks was
way, way more appropriate for my attitude, my behav-
ior. I need a dynamic environment.”
Unlike Seeley, Peterson said he got lucky and was
hired in DC right after taking the test and scoring well.
He is now going for his master’s degree from University
of Maryland, University College.
At the age of 35, Peterson is young to be a president
of a volunteer fire and rescue company. He said, “You
need somebody who actually understands what’s going
on in the operation side. A lot of the presidents in this
county are old. They’re not necessarily doing the day-
to-day work. But being president, you should have some
idea of what’s going on and you should be somewhat
progressive and into the most recent trains of thought
and not ending up getting stuck in a mindset that keeps

He said, “I don’t think this firehouse was designed
very well. I definitely think there’s a lot of room for
improvement. But firefighters and the EMT’s in general
are pretty good at improvisation and we make it work.”
Seeley said, “When my dad was growing up when
my grandfather was a chief, they had what’s called the
red phone, and it was in my grandfather’s house. So,
when somebody would call 911, the communications
center called my grandfather and they’d have to round
up a crew and hit the road. So, a lot has changed since
then.” AUTOMOTIVE MAINTANANCE AND REPAIR FACILITY
And the biggest change of all is about to descend on 22352 Three Notch Road • Lexington Park
the county later this year with the introduction of paid, 240-237-8161
career paramedics. He explained the problem that has
led to the decision. “Recruiting them is fine. It’s a hun-
dred miles an hour out the gate and as time goes on and
all the changes are made, retaining them is a little diffi-
cult because they just don’t have the time to work 40 or
50 hours a week and they have families and then they’re
supposed to be able to set a couple of weekends aside
for recertifications or weeknights with kids, with sports
and everything, where, if it was their job, they could do
it during the day while they were at work.”
So, he is totally behind the move to career EMS to
supplement the volunteers, recognizing the fact that
Dunkirk and North Beach have “the worst response
time for ALS (Advanced Life Support) in the county.”
He said in recognition of the problem one of the
Calvert Advanced Life Support units was moved to
Dunkirk from Prince Frederick, “until this career ALS
kicks in.”
North Beach is due to get a paid unit for the northern
part of the county. He thinks the assimilation will go
okay. “This is a business. So, whether we’re career or
volunteer, when somebody calls 911, in Dunkirk, they
don’t want 50 percent of a fireman or 50 percent of an
EMT. They want the answer to every problem that they Jimmy Hayden • Realtor

Seeley feels the fire service will be in good shape for
some time under the volunteer model. But of course,
that depends on recruitment. And, when the recruits
