42nd Annual Public Safety Awards Luncheon

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.

This year MCFRS had several outstanding individuals recognized for efforts in emergent situations as well as recognition for life long service. Those that received recognition were:

Bronze Medal: Ocean City Water Rescue - Awarded to Master Fire Fighter/Rescuer Timothy Beatty of Montgomery County Fire and Rescue.

Honorable Mention: Collision on I-495 Split at I-270 - Fire Fighter Rescuer III Meghan Quinn and Fire Fighter Rescuer II Wyatt Smith of the Glen Echo Volunteer Fire Department.
