Real issues As the Fire Chief of the busiest fire department in the County this is a huge issue! If you are a citizen of this County I strongly urge you to contact your commissioner and let them know your displeasure with this system. We deserve better and so do the citizens of this county...

Concerned Dad, I have watched as youth football has crumbled over the last couple of years. I won't bother you with particulars but I applaud your efforts. I would love to assist in any way possible. Shawn 301-904-1646

Good afternoon, I wanted to put a quick blurb on here about the Bay District Volunteer Fire Department's Smoke Alarm Initiative. It is well documented that a working smoke alarm is your best bet in escaping a fire. With that being said, many people overlook the value of such a small piece...

My extreme appologies to the boys down south for forgetting them. Thanks Ridge!! Ok, I think I covered all of the departments. Wait a second, thanks to the EMS crews too!! Shawn

Great Job Many thanks to all of the hands that helped...we were able to save 90 percent of the actual building. Everything in the back is ok, and the majority of the stuff in the kitchen/front walk in area is ok. Fire was contained to the cockloft above the kitchen. Again, great job to...

All, I am hoping that someone can help me out with this, I remember a couple of years ago reading something on here about "adopting" a wounded soldier from Walter Reed to spend Christmas with you. My wife and I talked about it, and we would love to participate in this endeavor for many...

Car fire in the driveway of a house. More than likely you heard the tires blowing. Hope this helps!!!

I could see Donovan going to AZ, but I don't see the skins getting much for him. Simply put, they are showing that they are finished with him. He will not play for them next season, so where is the incentive for a team to give up a lot for him? I could see them dealing an O Lineman, or...

One of the most amazing days of my life!!! I met up with 5 others from Red Knights MD4 this am at 0800 hours. Along with them, I took two Engines from my Firehouse to honor this Marine. All in all 140 motorcycles and our two Engines joined the family and friends of this fallen Marine as we...

That's right, I do believe in Romo. I met him for the first time when he was a third string nobody. I have since met him a few times...and can say with certainty, he is one of the few Truly Professional players in the league. He will get it all for us before he is finished.....he will win a...

Hey hey hey not so fast, not all of us have left. I am sitting here typing this wearing my Blue and Silver...my Cowboys shorts, and a Cowboys T Shirt. I had all three of my boys decked out Sunday. I too think this is the best thing that could happen to my franchise. We needed this...
