3:28pm Working Fire Dispatch, 8900 block of Walkerton Dr in Lanham. PGFD units on scene of 2-story split-level single family home w/smoke showing. Fire is out, searches negative. Fire Investigators on scene.
Effective today, @PGFDFireChief is #PrinceGeorgesProud to announce the promotion of #PGFD members Jae Chong, Sean Moorhouse, Ryan Schlegel & Robert Stewart to FFer/Medic Lieutenant. Additionally, Andrew Spriggs & Michael Clark are promoted to Technician. Congratulations to all!
@le_chadd As soon as I see they need it they get it. Especially in colder months when the outside temp can exacerbate the distress. Never had an issue with the tank running out between the house/apt.
Today I experienced the true brotherhood. Spent the day with men that worked in the same firehouse for 5+ years at a family event. We cooked out, shot the shit and enjoyed each other’s company. Exactly what was needed today. The brotherhood is here if u embrace it and seek it out
Officers were called to a home in the 8700 block of Dunbar Avenue in Capitol Heights this afternoon. A 911 caller was concerned about the welfare of a man who was alone in that home. We attempted to speak with him for several hours.
They were just like us; fathers, sons, brothers & friends. They went to work 19 yrs ago today & started their tour just like us, with no idea what fate had in store for them. 343 regular men who did extraordinary things. 343 humble souls who sought no fame & taught us how to die.
At the #FDNY Fire Academy- in the area where probies line up to begin their day sits a pull up bar that all new #firefighters train.
This pull up bar is supported by #WTC steel.
