Deep Creek Volunteer Fire Company, Inc.

Deep Creek Volunteer Fire Company, Inc., a tax-exempt not-for-profit organization based in McHenry, Maryland, is a federal grant recipient focused on volunteer firefighting, equipment procurement, training, and emergency response infrastructure. The organization operates exclusively as a prime recipient — it has not held federal contracts or subcontractor roles — and receives grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Deep Creek's federal footprint centers entirely on FEMA's Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program (CFDA 97.044) and a congressionally delegated community project grant from the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service. Between September 2022 and August 2025, the organization has received seven federal grants totaling $2.6 million in combined obligations. The largest single award was a $900 thousand project grant from FEMA in September 2022, with subsequent AFG grants of $218,141 (June 2023), $100 thousand (July 2024), and $233,137 (August 2024). Each AFG grant carries a two-year performance period and supports equipment procurement, personal protective gear, advanced training programs, and health and wellness initiatives for volunteer firefighters. The most recent award, dated August 2025, is a community project grant from USDA Rural Utilities Service with a completion date of August 2027.

Customer concentration is entirely within FEMA, which accounts for six of seven awards (100% coverage). Awards appear episodic rather than sustained pipeline — one in 2020, one in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2025 — with no parent vehicles, IDIQs, or standing delivery-order relationships. One award (the August 2025 USDA community project grant) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
