The Reisterstown Volunteer Fire Company was awarded an Emergency Response and Safety grant from BGE.  The grant will be used to purchase a Lucas CPR chest compression system (it will cover $8,000 of the $14,000 cost).  The Lucas will perform chest compressions on patients in cardiac arrest and will allow personnel that  would be performing chest compressions to perform other patient care tasks.  It will perform consistent compressions without fatigue and makes it easier for EMS personnel to move patients without any interruption in CPR.

The members and officers of the Reisterstown Volunteer Fire Company would like to thank BGE for awarding the grant to our community!

This past Monday evening was the swearing in ceremony for the Board and Officers. Present were Chief Hohman, Assistant Chief Utz and Councilwoman Almond.

Last night the FHS football team fought a hard game and unfortunately they lost by a couple of points.  The Reisterstown Volunteer Fire Company is still proud of their achievement and were joined by Glyndon Volunteers at FHS to welcome the team back from the game.

Santa is coming to town!

Santa will be riding the firetrucks between 7p till around 8:30p-9p.

[Santa wants to see everyone and we will make every attempt to get to all these areas but the schedule is dependent on weather and fire calls.]

The Reisterstown VFC has ordered a new medic unit to replace Medic 415.  The new Medic 415 will be manufactured by Road Rescue in Winter Park Florida.  It will be mounted on a 2017 Dodge 5500 4×4.  The new unit will have an all aluminum body that will be mounted on a liquid spring suspension.  The new unit will have a Stryker Power load system to assist loading the cot in the rear of the unit.  The cost of maintaining our current 10 year old unit has been steadily rising.  The new unit should be in Reisterstown sometime this winter.

Last night we were alerted, along with Engine 56 for an auto fire on the 795. The original call had it in the wrong location and it ended up being north bound just north of Owings Mills Blvd. The police reported the car was fully involved.

Tonight two crews went out to Chatsworth Elementary school to do training on the engine.  Trained on pulling the attack line, setting up the blitz fire (high volume hose) and then ladder training.
