Jason Philpott

Jason was a Firefighter for the Prince George's County Fire Department. Firefighting was his passion. When work related injuries forced him to take leave for disability he was heartbroken. At the age of 16, he joined the Bladensburg Volunteer Fire Department, Company 9. He became the youngest at Station 9 to ever receive the coveted title of Firefighter/EMT. He transferred his membership from Bladensburg, Company 9 to Silver Hill Volunteer Fire Department, Company 29 where he continues to be a member. He attended and graduated from St. Bernard's Catholic School and Parkdale High School. He married Megan E. Philpott and they have a darling son, Matthew Tyler Philpott.
