Cub Scouts Visit Fire Station #34 (Milestone) For Safety Lessons and Tour

Last night roughly 40 Cub Scouts descended on our newly opened Fire Station #34 (Milestone). They were there to learn more about various emergencies and how to respond as part of their badge requirements. In addition, they were also treated to a tour of our state of the art fire station.

As you can see in the videos below, the group was divided into two with one in the training room and the other touring the station. They then switched roles.

The boys were treated to expert instruction by the career Fire Fighters of “B” Shift led by Lieutenant Morrissey. Topics covered included home fire escape planning, smoke alarms, calling 911, water safety, home safety and what to do if your clothes catch on fire. Educational fire safety handouts were also provided the pack to share with their parents!

Milestone residents "dig in" for fire safety

I received a great video (below) from a member of the Milestone community (Germantown). It is an informational video showing how to find and dig out fire hydrants. The community has come together and many folks are out in the community trying to help us by digging out their nearest fire hydrant. Thanks to all of you in the Milestone community for your help in this very important fire safety initiative.


Thanks also to all of our county residents who are also locating, and digging out, their fire hydrants so that they are easier for us to find and use!

Stay Safe,
