It was another busy weekend at the FVFAC. On Saturday April 13, several FVFAC members, assisted by neighboring Volunteer Fire and EMS Companies from Harford County and Baltimore County as well as Harford County DES spent the day providing EMS coverage and Emergency Planning for the My Lady's Manor Steeplechase races. Other FVFAC members attended classes, staffed the stations, hosting two public fire safety education events and attending to the final details of the preparations to host our own 2019 Installation of Officers and 2018 Awards Banquet. Saturday night our members looked back on the accomplishments of the FVFAC and it's members throughout 2018 and installed our Operational and Administrative Officers for 2019. Sunday April 14 we again had members taking part in MFRI classes, including having Truck 1331 provide support at the North East Regional Training Center for the Firefighter I Truck Company Operations module throughout the day. FVFAC members then staffed the stations through Sunday evening, monitoring the potential severe weather conditions throughout the area and preparing for any responses. Throughout the weekend we experienced a relatively light call volume with approximately a dozen emergency calls handled by our fire and EMS crews.

The FVFAC would like to thank all of the individuals and agencies that assisted us this weekend, allowing us to carry out the events listed above. These include the Jarrettsville VFC, Bel Air VFC, Jacksonville VFC, Harford County DES, Dr. Tim Chizmar - State EMS Medical Director and the My Lady's Manor organizing committee; the Kingsville VFC and Hereford VFC for covering our station Saturday night during our banquet, Mr. Tom Shaech for serving as and entertaining us as our banquet Master of Ceremonies; and of course...all of our members who worked tirelessly through the weekend to make this all happen!!!
