We would like to take a moment to congratulate newly appointed Asst. Chief Jared Mullett. Asst.

Jared holds the certifications of firefighter, paramedic, instructor, fire safety inspector, and rescue technician, along with several other leadership classes and courses. Up to this point in his career Jared has served in the position of lieutenant, captain, and now assistant chief. We look forward to your continued leadership Jared and thank for your dedication to the fire district and our communities.

We want to take a moment this morning and recognize Assistant Chief Steve Benedict. As of this morning Steve has officially retired from the Bladensburg Fire District. Steve has been with our organization for fifteen years, and came from a neighboring department that he spent over seventeen years in. Through his time with Bladensburg he served as a line firefighter, lieutenant, and assistant chief. Steve has spent countless hours dedicating himself to the fire district and our communities. Thank you for bettering our organization and touching thousands of lives. Enjoy your well deserved retirement Steve!

We are incredibly grateful for receiving two grant items from the Aladdin Shriners this year. We are fortunate to have received a thermal imaging camera as well as an automated external defibrillator. The thermal
imager will be placed on our first out engine at station one, replacing a much older camera. The AED is being placed in the fire chiefs vehicle as that vehicle is on the majority of fires, auto accidents, and first responds to several EMS calls. Thank you very much for your support Aladdin Shriners!

Our members spent the evening reviewing and performing simulated tree stand rescues. A combination of ingenuity, and rope rescue techniques come together to make these often difficult scenarios a success.

It’s that time of the year again. Even though we’ve gotten a little rain, the surface materials are extremely dry. Even if it is in legal hours, please assess the area around the open burn, and ensure the breeze isn’t blowing. If a burn does get out of hand call us IMMEDIATELY so we can stop the spread as quickly as possible. Thank you

Chief 480, Engines 481 & 482 responded mutual aid to Licking County this morning on this commercial building. Great work by several agencies.

Multiple extrications, two structure fires, and many high acuity EMS calls have kept our part timers and volunteers very busy over the last several days.

It’s that time of year. On top of training, handling calls, and all other standard daily duties, your firefighters are ensuring our annual hose testing gets completed. Every year hose undergoes pressure testing to make sure it’s up to standards when it’s needed to perform. Each engine carries 2,000 feet of hose between fire attack lines and water supply hoses.

Our members were able to attend a joint department training at C-TEC today. Working hand in hand with out mutual aid partner’s is a must for smooth operations at the scene of an emergency. Thanks to everyone who set this up for us all and made it a possibility. Great work by all today!
