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. 

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.

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.
