The Westminster Fire Co extends its sympathy to the family of Jeannie Vogel

The Westminster Fire Co extends its sympathy to the family of Jeannie Vogel of JeannieBird Baking Co who died in today’s traffic accident. http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-westminster-fire-co-extends-its.html
The Westminster Fire Co extends its sympathy to the family and loved ones of Jeannie Vogel of the JeannieBird Baking Co., our neighbor on Main St in Westminster, who died in today’s traffic accident. Ms. Vogel was a lovely person who steadfastly supported the Westminster community and the Westminster Fire Department. We lift Jeannie and her family, co-workers, and friends into our hearts and pray for comfort and healing at this terrible time. She will be greatly missed.

We also say a prayer for the firefighters, EMS personnel, state highway workers, and police officers who left their homes in the middle of night to respond to this terrible accident. They fought the fire, freezing temperatures, ice, and multiple dangers of the accident this morning at Rte. 27 and Kate Wagner Road.

God of earth and air, water and fire, height and depth, we pray for those who work in danger,

Who rush in to bring hope and help and comfort when others flee to safety,

Whose mission is to seek and save, serve and protect, and whose presence embodies the protection of the Good Shepherd.

Give them caution and concern for one another, so that in safety they may do what must be done, under your watchful eye.

Support them in their courage and dedication that they may continue to save lives, ease pain, and mend the torn fabric of lives and social order. Amen.

Police believe owner of JeannieBird bakery killed in Route 27 crash


Police believe the owner of a popular Westminster bakery and café was killed in fiery traffic crash involving a tractor trailer on Route 27 early Friday morning.

Because of the severity of the injuries, Maryland State Police investigators were unable to positively confirm the identification of the deceased victim prior to autopsy results from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. However, based on evidence retrieved from the scene of the crash, in addition to information received from family members, investigators believe the victim was Jeannie Vogel.

Vogel, 53, co-owned JeannieBird Baking Company on Main Street in Westminster. The crash occurred shortly after 4 a.m. when the tractor-trailer struck the vehicle Vogel was driving, causing both vehicles to catch fire…

By the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Company No. 1

Westminster Volunteer Fire Department, Westminster Md. - - Thanks to a generous BGE Public Safety Grant, money donated by the local community, and the continuing support from the city of Westminster the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 recently put into service medical technology that could help reduce mortality rates for patients experiencing cardiac arrest.

Along with personal injuries due to falls, motor vehicle accidents, and drug overdoses, the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department continues to see an uptick in the number of calls for cardiac arrests.

Last year, in 2015, the department ran 5,743 EMS. That’s an increase of over a thousand calls a years from five years ago in 2010 when the department ran 4,731 calls. Add to that the 1,917 fire calls in 2015, and Westminster remains one of the busiest fire stations in the state.

To respond to that many calls a year requires lots of staffing and the latest technology available to stretch limited resources. According to Westminster Fire Department PIO Kevin Dayhoff, in January the department was able to purchase a cutting edge LUCAS Chest Compression System for treatment of the out of hospital acute cardiac arrest. Of the $14,000 price tag for the equipment, $5,000.00 was donated to the company by a BGE grant.

Valencia A. McClure, the director of communications for BGE noted, “At BGE, the safety of our customers and employees is paramount. We greatly value our partnership with emergency response and safety organizations who share our mission… We appreciate everything that our emergency responder partners do to help keep our customers safe in Carroll County and beyond.”

Planning and research into obtaining the LUCUS device began last year. According to multiple media sources, including an article on the National Institute of Health website titled, “Use of the LUCAS mechanical chest compression device for percutaneous coronary intervention during cardiac arrest: is it really a game changer?,” - “Cardiac arrest has a dire prognosis, with an average of only 5% of patients being discharged alive without neurologic problems after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

“Despite improvements in medical therapy and other devices modifying ventilatory support, cardiopulmonary support based especially on closed chest compression is pivotal to maximize survival chances. However, manual chest compression is energy consuming and operator-intensive.

“Moreover, it cannot be performed successfully for a prolonged period of time by any individual healthcare provider nor in logistically challenging settings… Manual chest compression appears particularly challenging for patients in cardiac arrest who also require an emergent invasive procedure, such as primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)… The LUCAS mechanical chest compression device provides external and automated closed chest compression, thus enabling even complex invasive procedures without interrupting cardiopulmonary support.”

In other words, many cardiac arrests occur in and around the home and farm, in places where it is difficult and time-consuming to respond. Manually performing CPR chest compressions for long periods of time during a long ambulance ride to the hospital can be physically difficult and sometimes not possible. This is where the LUCAS device comes into play.

According to Westminster Volunteer Fire Department Chief Jim Starry, “LUCAS is an easy to use and lightweight device that provides quality chest compressions according to the American Heart Association guidelines for CPR.”

During a recent training exercise on the LUCAS device, Westminster EMS provider Josh Evans said, “LUCAS allows paramedics and firefighters to better facilitate the delivery of vital oxygen to the brain and priming the heart for a defibrillation shock in cardiac arrest situations.”

“Traditionally, chest compressions (CPR) was done manually by first responders at a rate of 100 compressions per minute,” According to Lieutenant Brett Pearce at the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1. “Fatigue, poor positioning, and inadequate depth of the compression were all problems that needed to be overcome…”

“With the LUCAS, several scientific research studies have shown that patients who have a heart attack and need CPR have better outcomes when LUCAS is used,” according to Westminster EMS Captain Laura Tyler. “The rate, and depth that LUCAS offers means that patients have a better chance of surviving out of hospital cardiac arrest when used in conjunction with early defibrillation of the heart.”

“LUCAS also improves safety for EMS providers,” said Westminster assistant chief Jason Tyler. “The most dangerous time for EMT's and Paramedics is during the transport to the hospital. The need to provide lifesaving skills for the patient often means that personnel must work in difficult and dangerous positions without the use of seat belts. LUCAS allows for all to be properly seated and belted while in the back of a moving ambulance.”

“LUCAS offers emergency medical providers to deliver better care, personal safety during transport, and better lifesaving techniques to the citizens and visitors to Westminster,” said Westminster Volunteer Fire Department President Jim Bangerd.

Westminster Common Council member Tony Chiavacci, who sits on the council public safety committee said, “This is a great example of the Westminster and Carroll community coming together to fill a need…”

“The fire company would like to thank BGE, Westminster city government, and all the citizens who donated money to make this equipment possible. You never know, the life it may save might be a family member, a neighbor, or a coworker,” said Bangerd.

Carroll Co. Md. Sheriff Jim DeWees - A Letter from me to our president


Carroll Co. Md. Sheriff Jim DeWees - A Letter from me to our president

Facebook 9:01 a.m. February 13, 2016 https://www.facebook.com/sheriffjimdewees/


Dear President Obama:

In case you haven’t heard, eight American police officers over the past eight days have been killed in the line of duty. Two of these police officers were Harford County Sheriff’s Deputies that were gunned down at a Panera Restaurant just 50 miles from where you live. I’ve watched and listened intently for words of encouragement and sorrow to come from you, but haven’t heard or seen anything.

Conversely, just two weeks ago my governor, Larry Hogan, spent the better part of a week placing a call each day to one of my deputies that was involved in a severe traffic collision in Carroll County. He wasn’t satisfied with speaking to me in order to send his prayers and regards; he called every day after the collision until he spoke with my deputy’s wife. Governor Hogan also drove to Harford County the day after two deputies were slain to meet Sheriff Gahler and the men & women of his office to grieve with them. The governor is in the middle of the 2016 Legislative Session and is pretty busy, yet found time to call, visit, and pay his respects to me & my deputy, and the men & women of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.

I understand that you are a busy man and are being pulled in multiple directions every day of the week. But, when my president doesn’t take the time to openly recognize the sacrifices that brave men & women of law enforcement make each day to keep domestic peace, I’m disappointed! I suspect that if these same deputies walked in to a restaurant, and without provocation shot and killed an innocent man, you and your staff would quickly whisk their family away to Washington for a future speech to make an example of police officers nationwide.

For me Mr. President, it has nothing to do with Republican or Democrat; black or white, male or female; but, it has everything to do with leading or following. I’m not shocked that you haven’t openly reached out or acknowledged publically the recent rash of deaths in law enforcement, but I’m tremendously disappointed!

Mr. President, your silence about these events SPEAKS VOLUMES!!!!

PS: I'll be standing outside in the cold next week with my deputies for the funerals of the Harford Co deputies; I'll save you a spot next to me!

James T. DeWees

On Wednesday, February 10, 2016, Senior Deputy Patrick Dailey and Senior Deputy Mark Logsdon of the Harford County Sheriff's Office were killed in the line of duty while faithfully serving the citizens of Harford County. 
 
At approximately 11:40 a.m., the Harford County Department of Emergency Services received a call from a citizen concerning a suspicious circumstance, indicating a wanted person was in the Panera Bread restaurant located in the 3400 block of Merchant Drive in Abingdon, Maryland. 
 
At approximately 11:46 a.m., Deputies were dispatched to the location in an attempt to locate the wanted subject who had been described by the caller.
The investigation has revealed that Senior Deputy Dailey arrived at the Panera Bread a short time after the initial dispatch, entered and approached a subject meeting the description who was seated alone at a table.  While speaking to Senior Deputy Dailey, the suspect, without warning, produced a handgun and shot Senior Deputy Dailey in the head.  The suspect then exited the Panera Bread and ran in the direction of Parkview at Box Hill, a senior living apartment center. 
 
Within moments, a second Deputy arrived at the restaurant and located Senior Deputy Dailey with a gunshot wound. 
 
Shortly after 12:00 p.m., Senior Deputy Logsdon, who had arrived on scene, exited his vehicle and, along with additional Harford County deputies, located the suspect seated in the front seat of a vehicle in the parking lot at Parkview at Box Hill.  Upon contact by Senior Deputy Logsdon, the suspect fired multiple rounds at the Deputy, mortally wounding him. 
 
Deputies within close proximity, including Senior Deputy Logsdon, returned fire, striking and killing the suspect.  He has subsequently been identified as David Brian Evans (W/M, 12/25/47) who has no fixed address.  The loaded handgun used to murder Senior Deputy Logsdon and Senior Deputy Dailey was recovered from the suspect. 
 
Lifesaving efforts were immediately administered to both Senior Deputy Dailey and Senior Deputy Logsdon by Sheriff's Deputies on scene.  

Abingdon and Joppa Magnolia Volunteer Fire Departments responded and continued their life saving efforts.  

Senior Deputy Dailey was transported from the scene by Maryland State Police helicopter to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center.  

Senior Deputy Logsdon was transported to the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center.  Both succumbed to their injuries. 
 
Investigators from the Harford County Sheriff's Office are continuing to work tirelessly to reconstruct the events surrounding these senseless murders. 
Senior Deputy Dailey had served with the Harford County Sheriff's Office for 30 years and was assigned to the Court Services Division.  He was also a lifelong member of the Joppa Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company.  He is survived by his two children, girlfriend and mother. 
 
Senior Deputy Logsdon had served with the Harford County Sheriff's Office for 16 years and was assigned to the Community Services Division.  He is survived by his wife, three children, and parents. 
 
Both Senior Deputy Dailey and Senior Deputy Logsdon served in the military.  Senior Deputy Dailey served in the Marines; Senior Deputy Logsdon served in the United States Army. 
 
Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler and the members of the Harford County Sheriff's Office would like to express our sincerest gratitude to the Maryland State Police, Maryland Transportation Authority Police, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Bel Air Police Department, Aberdeen Police Department, Havre de Grace Police Department, Baltimore County Police Department, the State Highway Administration, Harford County Department of Emergency Services, and all the local fire companies who assisted yesterday.  Their assistance greatly helped our agency get through yesterday's tragic events.

The violence committed against our officers must come to an end. Our men and women in blue must know that the vast majority stand with them and appreciate their service to our community. And we stand against the community leaders that trade in the empty rhetoric that attempts to divide us or does not understand that without public safety you have no community.

Wed., Feb. 10, 2016 Harford Co. MD Sheriff Senior Deputy Patrick Dailey and Senior Deputy Mark Logsdon were shot and killed

Wed., Feb. 10, 2016 Harford Co. MD Sheriff Senior Deputy Patrick Dailey and Senior Deputy Mark Logsdon were shot and killed by an emotionally disturbed person who was wanted for assaulting a police officer in Florida. 
 
According to the "Officer Down Memorial Page." The deputies had been dispatched to the restaurant after the man's ex-wife had called to report the subject was there. Deputy Dailey, who knew the subject, sat down at the man's table and asked how he was doing. Without warning the subject produced a handgun and shot the deputy in the head, killing him. 
 
The man fled into the parking lot where he was confronted by Deputy Logsdon. The subject shot and killed Deputy Logsdon before he was killed by two other deputies.
Deputy Dailey was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and had served with the Harford County Sheriff's Office for 30 years. He is survived by his two children and mother." 

Hat tip to my brother, Jason Tyler, for getting this information out to us.
