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.

We are well staffed this weekend and have all apparatus ready for duty. Thankfully it was been reasonably quiet, though.
