background check, a basic physical health screening and initial drug and alcohol screening. A random screening may
be conducted throughout one’s membership. These requirements apply to all applicants at all fire stations as required
and administered by the Anne Arundel County Fire Department.

Criminal History Disqualifiers
The Anne Arundel County (AACO) Fire Department shall conduct a Criminal Background Check on all volunteer members.
A conviction or pending charges for certain crimes, attempted crimes or criminal offenses may be a dis-qualifier for admission

Should the background check return with disqualifying criteria, the Ferndale Volunteer Fire Company, upon the discretion of the
Board of Directors, reserves the right to terminate the offending members membership immediately.
