It was 19 years ago that 343 firefighters died serving others. Unfortunately, there are many, many more who have died since from cancer and related issues from the attack. We continue to remember all those who have given their lives…
Last night several members worked on getting the cribbing ready for our new S414. The new squad is in its final stages and should be delivered to us soon.
The cribbing being worked in the pictures is one of the things that is carried on each squad (and truck) in Baltimore County. The main use is for stabilization of a vehicle at an MVC. A whole, large compartment is dedicated to cribbing.
Craig Coleman (Beatle) has been a member of the RVFC and a volunteer firefighter since July 20, 1970 — 50 years as a firefighter.
Numerous representatives (both county and state) presented him with congratulations on his 50 years. His family was all present to see too.
Congratulations Beatle!
The RVFC is doing a shortened door-to-door fund drive this year, unfortunately due to COVID-19. Every year we have people in the neighborhood requesting donations and this results in our largest fundraiser each year.

We do still need funds to run the fire station and for our newest rescue squad to replace S414, so please consider donating by sending a check (108 Main St, Reisterstown MD) or donating online.
Later this afternoon an MVC was reported at the Sunoco at Reisterstown Rd and Hammershire Rd. Two cars were involved and one person was trapped. It took crews approximately 15 minutes to extricate the patient.
