On the evening of Sunday, April 24th a crew from MCFRS Fire Station 23 in Rockville were dispatched to the Strathmore Hall for a report of people trapped in an elevator.
MCFRS responders located and rescued Dr. Marc Hertzman and his wife from a malfunctioning elevator. The rescue included a rather prolonged rescue and harrowing climb up ladders and out the roof for the couple.
Dr. Hertzman, a talented opera performer, has something to say... sing ... to the first responders to express his gratitude for their service, kindness and going above and beyond to help them. He rallied colleagues from across the Country to produce an Opera Tribute to express his gratitude to the MCFRS personnel that responded that evening. MCFRS first responders included Lt. Joseph King, Lt. James Riddle and Firefighter II Oscar Monzon.
Thank you to Dr. Hertzman and your talented performers for this first-ever (for MCFRS) Opera tribute! Our responders couldn't be more grateful for your gift of music and unique thank you. And let the show begin . . .
