Thoughts and prayers go out to the men of companies 7 (Riverdale VFD) and 9 (Bladensburg VFD). The men were burned when a fire in a vacant house in Riverdale Heights fueled by high winds took off. More information can be found @ statter911.com
I am a live-in volunteer at the West Lanham Hills VFD Co. 28 in Prince George's County, MD. We are an aggressive company that runs over 4500 calls a year.
This blog is about what we see and hear out there on the streets as well as what we learn in-house. It is a training tool. It is also about my growing and maturing into a fireman and the experiences and lessons learned along the way. We all run into some crazy stuff out there...some more than others. I believe that we fall under the "more than others" category so I would like to share my/our experiences with you. Here, I will tell it and show it like it is, I just hope that everyone takes something back to their own houses with it. Stay frosty out there gents and thanks for stopping by.
P.S. be sure to check out the links below. They have proven useful many times for us on the firegrounds, there is always something to be learned.
