After serving Reisterstown for the last 27 years, the Peterbilt left our station for the last time today. The Grantsville Volunteer Fire Department came to pick up their new squad. We look forward to seeing the Peterbilt serve them for many years to come.

The committee visited Rescue 1 and performed a pre-paint inspection on the body. The chassis modifications are in process. This includes mounting of the generator and winch. The body will be prepared for paint next.

Yesterday, Station 31 (Owings Mils) invited RVFC down to their station to get together and have a friendly game of dodge ball. S414 went down, in-service with a crew to challenge those at Owings Mills. A great time was had by all.

The new squad committee performed the final inspection on the cab and chassis at Seagrave. The cab and chassis should be at Rescue 1 around the beginning of the new year.

Our current Squad 414, a 1992 Peterbilt, has been in service since January 1993. It has served us well through the years. We have purchased a new squad that is currently being built (more information to follow in the next 6 months), but in the mean time we are cleaning up the Peterbilt to put it up for sale. All of the tools were removed and every compartment was cleaned. We will post a for sale post on our webpage in the next couple of weeks.

Thursday night we started to get our house ready for the holidays!
