UMCVFD RUNS CLARKSBURG 2ND ALARM- Just after 3am this morning units from Clarksburg and surrounding areas were alerted for the reported building fire at 24120 Frederick Rd. Engine 735 arrived on scene to find a large commercial building with fire showing. Based on the amount of involvement in the building that housed large amounts of construction recycling material and equipment, the event was quickly escalated requesting the Rapid Intervention Dispatch, Water Supply Task Force and soon after the 2nd Alarm. Tanker 714 responded on the WSTF with Engine 714, Chief 714 and Car 714-C close behind on the second alarm. Tanker 714 joined the water supply shuttle while Engine 714s crew was deployed to assist with fire suppression. Chief 714 was assigned as the Water Supply Supervisor. Units operated a rural water supply shuttle with a total of 7 tankers and 1 engine tanker, supplying multiple elevated and ground based master stream devices. Once the bulk of the fire was knocked down, command switched to a dump tank operation with 4 tankers for the prolonged overhaul process. As of this time many units are still operating on the incident and will be for some time. ... See MoreSee Less

From humble beginnings... In honor of R-E-D (Remember Everyone Deployed) Friday we wanted to take the opportunity to provide a status update on a project that was first mentioned several months ago. The ongoing creation of “Overwatch” The Cpl. Kirk J. Bosselmann Memorial Public Safety Fitness Center is a initiative at the firehouse that is very near and dear to us. The Project was jumpstarted thanks to a generous donation from Potomac Hunt, which was then matched by the Upper Montgomery County Volunteer Fire Department. With these funds and a very helpful discount from our friends at Get Rxd, we are proud to update that phase one of this very special project has recently been completed at UMCVFD. Although the master plan involves a climate controlled space with the addition of much more equipment, this first step of designating an open area and adding functional fitness equipment will allow for many of the job specific exercises that are helpful to public safety personnel. The fitness area is located in an outbuilding that sits just behind and above the fire station. As the building itself sits on higher ground than the station, the fitness area has been designated “Overwatch” as a nod to the protection service provided by Cpl. Bosselmann and other Snipers whom would provide Overwatch from elevated positions to Marines and Soldiers working house to house on the ground. The fitness area is open to Montgomery County Public Safety Personnel, career and volunteer, to better prepare themselves for the rigors of the tasks assigned to them. Thank you to all who have helped on this project. More to come. ... See MoreSee Less
