Bowleys Quarters Volunteer Fire Rescue & Marine

🔥 MEMBER MONDAY: BILL ENFIELD 🔥
This week’s Member Monday spotlight is on Bill Enfield, Chief Financial Officer of Bowleys Quarters Volunteer Fire & Rescue! 🚒⚓
Bill has served with BQVFD for 5½ years, helping maintain, monitor, and grow the financial stability of our all-volunteer organization while keeping his biggest priority at the center of it all serving Bowleys Quarters and the residents of Baltimore County.
Before becoming CFO, Bill served as a Community Board Member from 2021–2023 and as a Baltimore County 911 call taker from 2023–2024.
Bill’s connection to BQVFD started in a pretty memorable way: polishing the aluminum bottom of Marine Unit 219 while it was being built in Bay 4! Another experience he’ll never forget was being on the water with our crews and a news media team for the demolition of the power plant.
Outside of the department, Bill works in mobile wheel repair and is a self-proclaimed “career uncle.” His family means the world to him, and when he isn’t volunteering, you’ll probably find him around the waterfront or anything automotive cars and trucks have always been a passion.
Recently engaged to his fiancé Gina, they currently reside in Carroll Island.
When asked what BQVFD means to him, Bill said family. The teams here have become a genuine part of his family, always supportive and present.
His motto sums up the spirit of volunteer service perfectly:
“We are just a group of ordinary people, trying to accomplish extraordinary things, together.”
Thank you, Bill, for the time, dedication, and heart you continue to give to BQVFD and the community we serve! ❤️🚒

Please take a moment to read a letter from our president.

08/03/2026

We're grateful for leaders who continue to stand behind Baltimore County's volunteer fire departments.
A sincere thank you to Councilman David Marks for your continued support and for advocating for legislation that helps strengthen the volunteer fire service.
Thank you for your dedication to moving the volunteer fire service forward and for recognizing the important partnership between our career and volunteer firefighters. We appreciate your continued commitment to keeping Baltimore County safe.

Right now, when the Baltimore County Fire Department wants to get rid of surplus equipment and vehicles, it must put those items on the market instead of donating or selling to our volunteer fire companies.

My legislation would change that, creating an alternative process that gives our volunteers the right of first refusal.

This makes sense - our career and volunteer firefighters and paramedics all play an essential role in keeping us safe.

Thank you to Councilman Nino Mangione for his sponsorship, and to the Klausmeier administration for working with our office on the bill.

I am honored to have the support of the Baltimore County Volunteer Firefighters Association and our fire companies that joined us today: Bowleys Quarters Volunteer Fire Rescue & Marine; Kingsville Volunteer Fire Company; Long Green Volunteer Fire Company; White Marsh Volunteer Fire Company; and Middle River Volunteer Fire & Rescue.
