Station Open House 8-17-13

In August we had our annual open house. We were able to show Engine and Brush 95 to many eager kids and adults. Joining us was a DUI emphasis patrol unit from the State Patrol, and NW Medstar dropped by for a visit.

 Medstar once again brought a helicopter up for our open house. What a big hit.

 

 The kids got to climb all around the helicopter and see just how limited the space is inside the cabin.

We want to thank all those who came and supported us at our open house. And a special thank you to Lt. Everman and Firefighter Hunt for grillin' all those hot dogs.

Station 95 Open House

Today was the open house for Station 95. We had a ton of fun. We were joined by the new 100' aerial ladder from Station 91, a vintage ambulance from AMR, a new ambulance, Engine 91, and the star of the day a helicopter from Medstar. We had a great turnout and we were excited to meet the citizens of the district and show them our station.

This helicopter is special because it was in Washington D.C. when 9/11 occurred.
