- Westminster FD assists with EMS support on Bay Bridge Run
Several weeks ago Queen Anne’s County sent a state wide request for EMS assets to assist with the annual Bay Bridge Run. WFD Deployed ATV3 to asssit with standby along the race route. WFD Volunteers stood by on the bay bridge while over 19,000 race participants ran the course. ATV3 was demobilized just after noon and returned to Carroll County. We are happy to lend a hand to whatever county in Maryland may need it.
- Simulated Mayday Firefighter Rescue
On October 28th Westminster VFD in conjunction with Carroll County Department of Fire and EMS of Maryland hosted another round of live Rapid Intervention Team training. This training gave participants the ability to train if one of our own were to get hurt or injured while fighting a fire. While we hope this skill is never used, it’s invaluable to be prepared if there is. Manchester Volunteer Fire Department participated during this round of evolutions.

- Quick stop at our neighbor’s business
A quick stop at Mercer Floors prevented a potential major event. A member at our station immediately got employees out of the business and store front.
