- Ventus Pro 5 Meter Training
On February 13th, Westminster VFD hosted a training on the newly acquired Ventus Pro 5 and Tango CO gas monitors. It was taught by our area representative for the meters, Jeremy Gray. Mr. Gray taught all attendees the usage, care, and maintenance of these important devices. These meters will greatly enhance the departments ability to run natural gas, CO and other emergencies with in the community. They also provide the ability to monitor the air quality after a fire to protect firefighters from the deadly gases that occur after the fire is extinguished and let us know when it’s safe to remove our breathing apparatus. Westminster would like to thank Mr. Gray for his time teaching all who attended.

- Members attend Federal Seminar
On January 29th and 30, multiple members of the Westminster Fire Department and Carroll County Department of Fire and EMS of Maryland personnel assigned to Westminster, took an in-person Federal class, preparing first responders responding to an incident involving a bomb. Personnel spent two days learning the lessons of past incidents and how to better prepare for future response. These are lessons we hope we never use, but these responders will be better prepared if we ever do. - Wreaths Across America
