Part of the Firefighters Prayer goes like this: Give me the strength to save some life  Whatever be its age.  Two firefighters in Westminster have likely said that prayer and many others to make it through 50 years of working to save lives and property. They were honored in a laughter- and memory-filled event covered by Westminster Patch.

POLICE & FIRE, VOLUNTEERS IN THE NEWS

The Firefighter's PrayerWhen I am called to duty, God
whenever flames may rage,Give me the strength to save some lifeWhatever be its age.Help me to embrace a little childBefore it is too late,Or some older person 
fromthe horror of that fate.Enable me to be alertAnd hear the weakest shout,And quickly and efficientlyto put the fire out.I want to fill my calling
 and give the best in me…To guard my every neighborAnd protect their property.And if according to Your willI have to lose my life,Please bless with Your protecting handMy children and my wife.

In an effort to decrease costs and increase efficiency, the City of Westminster is battling snow and freezing accumulation with a new liquid salt treatment.

Briefly discussed at Monday’s Common Council Meeting, Department of Public Works Director Jeffrey Glass explained that the liquid treatment is already being used by the state of Maryland and in other states as well.

Glass explained that the the traditional salt granules, spread by salt trucks during storms, often scatter off the roadway, ending up on shoulders and in gutters, which is both wasteful and bad for the environment.

Glass said there are several benefits to the liquid salt solution, one being that the liquid treatment stays on the road. Additionally, the roads can be pre-treated with the liquid solution, up to 48 hours before accumulation begins, which could reduce worker hours once a storm has started.

“If we can treat in advance, it could prevent that initial adhesion to the road surface,” Glass added.

Another benefit of the liquid is the potential savings…  http://westminster.patch.com/articles/city-of-westminster-getting-creative-in-battle-with-snow?ncid=M255
