He was affectionately known to his friends and family as “Nick.” Chief Finamore was a 53-year veteran of the department who served in both career and volunteer capacities. After retiring as a career deputy fire chief of operations in 1989, Nick became the chief of the Allentown Road Volunteer Fire Department. He held many leadership roles within the department, most recently as Volunteer Operations Commander for the Prince George’s County Fire Department, where he served until his passing. He was well known in the fire service and well respected by all that had the privilege to know and work alongside him.

Chief Finamore was considered a pioneer in the Prince George’s County Fire Department, a true leader and the epitome of the perfect firefighter. He was recognized for bravery several times throughout his distinguished tenure. Early in his career, Nick was awarded the PGFD Gold Medal of Valor for rescuing two children from a house fire in Seat Pleasant, MD. There was never a shortage of stories about Chief Finamore and his love for the job.

F or some context on Chief Finamore's tenure with the PGFD his ID number was "5". Current recruits in the academy have ID numbers of 28,000+.

Since 2005 the DC Firefighters Burn Foundation has provided young burn survivors from the Washington metropolitan region an opportunity to attend a one-of-a-kind summer camp. The Children’s Burn Camp is a safe, natural outdoor environment for kids ages 8 to 18 from around the world who have survived life-altering burn injuries. The remote setting creates a unique opportunity for the campers to just be kids for one week without fearing others staring at their scares, asking uncomfortable questions, or being made to feel they are different. The camp is staffed by firefighters, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and burn survivors, who volunteer almost ten days every summer to make this camp a success. Firefighters from DC to Maine raise the funds to keep this camp free for all campers and their families. The DC Firefighters Burn Foundation even provides transportation and basic needs such as pillows and sleeping bags for the kids from the Washington metropolitan region.

Founded in 2004, the D.C. Firefighters Burn Foundation is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization established by active and retired Washington, D.C. Firefighters. The Foundation is dedicated to assisting in the recovery and rehabilitation of injured firefighters and burn survivors from the Washington metropolitan region. We support burn research, treatment, and rehabilitation programs at Washington Hospital Center and Children’s National Medical Center (CNMC).
