 | 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. |

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.
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.
