1931 Model A Ford

Caroline and I visited the vendor's booths at the #MSFA 2017 Maryland State Firemen's Association Convention, but after some thought and consideration we have decided that we want the Westminster Fire Dept. to buy the 1931 Model A Ford, for its next piece of equipment. Just saying. Monday, June 19, 2017.

Thinking of Guy Garheart while watching "Emergency" with Mom. "Roger that Rampart. Squad 51 calling Rampart. 10-4 Rampart" 7Mar2017. Mom watches it every day out of respect to Uncle Wilbur, who volunteered for The Westminster Vol. Fire Dept. for perhaps 60 years. I am trying to figure out which character is playing Guy... Or Max, Kim, or Jason

40 firefighters from Carroll and Baltimore Counties respond to #Westminster house #fire http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2016/04/40-firefighters-from-carroll-and.html

Dry conditions at the end of winter and early spring only heighten the fire danger out there. Please have a safe spring.

Firefighters and first responders see a little too much of each other in the spring. The fire marshal’s office and the Carroll County fire departments take this opportunity to remind you to not have first responders over to your house this spring as uninvited guests.

“Although we are very friendly, this time of the year, we are way too serious to attend your spring get-together in the event of a fire. Ensure your guests are aware of all available exits if a fire would occur… The leading cause of fires in the kitchen are unattended cooking and carelessly discarded cigarette.

Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stovetop so you can keep an eye on the food. And if you are going to be careless, have extra food available in case 40 firefighters need to stop by in the middle of the day to come tromping through your house. Happy spring from your local Carroll County fire department of the fire marshal’s office.

A house on West George Street is uninhabitable after a fire Thursday afternoon.

A two-story wood dwelling caught on fire because of discarded smoking material, according to a news release from the State Fire Marshal's Office.

The Fire Marshal's Office ruled that the fire's cause was accidental. No injuries were reported, but the fire caused about $10,000 worth of damage to the structure, according to the release.

The Westminster Volunteer Fire Company was called to a fire in the unit block of West George Street at about 2:11 p.m., with a call for rapid intervention coming nine minutes later, said Kevin Dayhoff, spokesman for the fire company.

  Initial Report on the LEnfant Plaza Metro Incident January-12-2015 by Martin Austermuhle

+++++++++++++++++

An initial report on the response by D.C. firefighters to the smoke-filled Yellow Line train on Monday confirms that first responders had difficulty communicating by radio as they traveled through Metro tunnels on their way to evacuating the passengers.

The report also says it was Metro's responsibility to ensure the radio worked in the tunnels.

The 37-page report, published by D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services in the wake of the incident that left one dead and dozens injured, says the first responders "encountered difficulty communicating with each other in the Metro station using traditional radio communication channels."

Instead, they had to use walkie-talkie features on their radios or cellphones to communicate and coordinate.

That firefighter — the only one who's statement is included in the report — also commends the department's response. "In my humble opinion, the department's performance of this evolution was nothing short of magnificent."

The D.C. report follows an initial investigation from the National Transportation Safety Board that on Friday said that it took Metro 44 minutes from the time smoke was reported to when they shut off power to the third rail which was causing the smoke.

In the report, D.C. Fire and EMS says it is providing an "unprecedented level of openness" as they gather facts, and a full report will be completed. The NTSB is also conducted a full investigation, which could take months.
