QUOTE: "Chesapeake Beach Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department, Inc (CBVRS) is celebrating its 65th Anniversary this year. Buddy Griffith started the station in 1938 when he formed the Chesapeake Beach Volunteer Fire Department (CBVFD). In 1942, a charter was issued, and on April 30, 1948 CBVFD was incorporated as Chesapeake Beach Volunteer Fire Dept, Inc.View our Corporation Document
 
Shortly after forming, the CBVFD moved to a garage owned by Cliff Morris on Pleasure House Rd across the street from its current location. A 2 bay station was built in the late 40's on Lake Drive near where the current Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel (CBBT) Toll Plaza now stands. This building was adjacent to the Bayside Men's Club and Women's Club. In 1962 when the CBBT was built, the land that housed the station was used for the CBBT and land was granted adjacent to the CBBT for the fire station in the location where it now stands."
