On Saturday, July 6, 2024, the members and their families came together to support the Independence Day Celebration in our beautiful City. We had every unit and utility vehicle manned, our bike team members, Abingdon Fire Company, Fallston Volunteer Fire & Ambulance, Level Volunteer Fire Company, and the Harford County DES units, who handled the thousands of citizens and visitors to the City. The day began at 8:00 am with washing and stocking the units, preparing the bike team's EMS bags, lunch briefing, then the parade, followed by a dinner break, before heading off to the fireworks, and finally wrapping up at midnight when the City was quiet again. A big Thank You to everyone who worked so hard to pull this off--from providing emergency care, to handing out 250 pounds of candy in the parade, to giving out over 2,200 bottles of cold water at the end of the parade, followed by those who stayed on the units or signed up to handle the fireworks crowd. A special thank you to those who worked behind the scenes, as well as those who helped at the misting tent and first aid station--this couldn't happen without your help as well. And as always, a great debt of gratitude goes out to the Promenade Grille and Pat's Pizzeria--thank you so much! A huge thank you to all those who made the day a success!
