The Monday Night Volunteers had a busy shift on 6 January 2024 during the closing hours of the winter storm, including an overturned vehicle on Connecticut Avenue and a working apartment fire in Glenmont.

Many side roads are still dangerous today - be aware and take care.

This afternoon RS741, A741C as well as other MCFRS units from the 2nd battalion were dispatched to the 8100 block of Old Georgetown Road for the report of a house fire. The rescue squad arrived on scene in under a minute with smoke showing from a 2 story single family home. The squad crew handled searches and securing utilities. There were no injuries and the damage was isolated to the kitchen. Units remained on scene for over an hour.

Today, RS741B crew used several small hand tools to remove a child’s finger from a candy dispenser. The child was not transported to the hospital, but the candy dispenser didn’t make it. Still no word on whether early attempt to get Halloween candy was successful.

A big congratulations to BCCRS volunteer Master Firefighter Joseph (JJ) Johnson on receiving this year’s Firefighter of the Year award from the Montgomery County Volunteer Fire-Rescue Association. This award reflects JJ's extraordinary combination of technical expertise, volunteer leadership, and unbridled passion for the mission of BCCRS and the fire service more broadly.

JJ joined BCCRS in 2018 while he was a student at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda. Among his most notable accomplishments, JJ is a certified member of the County’s Technical Rescue Team – one of only a few volunteers on the team. He also serves as a night crew officer at BCCRS. And if that wasn’t enough, in his day job he supports the ground-breaking work of UL- Fire Safety Research Institute in analyzing fire behavior, including the development of techniques and strategies to increase firefighter safety.

Please join us in congratulating JJ on this impressive award and his dedication and commitment to his department and community.

****Delayed Post***

Another productive day for Maryland Task Force 1! Teams worked through flooded areas, navigating debris-filled waterways. With the help of canines and specialized tools the crews searched large debris piles composed of trees, large pieces of houses, silos, and barns.

Post searches, the team returns to the BoO for decontamination, debriefing, and transfer of information to the planning team so they can begin planning the next phase of operations. Tomorrow, MD-TF1 will continue with Wisconsin Task Force 1, moving to new areas.

The team is in good spirits and pushing forward. Thank you for your continued support!
