Today members from Grasonville and @kentislandvfd took advantage of the cold weather to practice ice rescue skills. Crews worked on the basics such as donning the ice suits, communication with hand signals, different techniques on reaching the victim, and scenarios with bringing them back to land.
Just before 5 this morning units from Grasonville were alerted for a boat fire on Little Creek Rd (Kent Island). @kentislandvfd Engine 12 arrived to find a work boat well involved and spreading to a nearby boat. Crews from Engine 25 and Engine Tanker 2 assisted with extinguishing and overhaul. Crews operated for approximately a hour before returning to service.
On Sunday Morning, GVFD hosted the southern Queen Anne’s County Rural Water Supply Drill. Companies in attendance reviewed the basic steps for setting up an efficient water shuttle. Companies in attendance were able to look over Easton VFD Tractor Trailer tanker and review it’s capabilities and capacities. This drill will lead into a full Water Shuttle drill at the beginning of next year.

Fireboat 2 assisted Tilghman Island Volunteer Fire Company Boat 70 last night with a boat taking on water off the Northwest Side of Popular Island. FB-2 Stood by while Boat 70 was able to get the sailboat into calmer waters to assess the situation. FB-2 cleared with Boat 70 standing by with the sailboat until a tow boat arrived.
Engine 22 and Rescue 2 just cleared this call assisting @kentislandvfd with a head-on accident on RT50.
