Last week, MCFRS Leadership and members were honored to have attended the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce’s 42nd Annual Public Safety Awards Luncheon.

The annual event is an opportunity for the community, colleagues, families, and officials to honor first responders from the various public safety agencies that serve Montgomery County.
