Yesterday Anne Arundel Truck 26 was struck while operating on a call on Cran Hwy. Luckily nobody was injured but obviously it could’ve been much worse.

Thank you to crew at the 40’s (West Annapolis) for a great dinner last night,and more importantly great fellowship. They manage the most diverse Box are you could imagine. From residential highrise, to non-hydranted waterfront homes, and everything in-between. #matrixproblems
