What a good time to be a good boy! Today we joined Council Member Jolene Ivey at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Kentland Dog Park. Council Member Ivey has worked tirelessly to advocate for the residents we protect and also our four legged friends. We thank her for being the driving force behind the completion of this project, giving Murphy, Sammy and all the dogs of the Landover area a place to play!

“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.”

Happy 61st in heaven Mick.

Murphy has taught young Sammy many essential tips and tricks as he ages. However, Murphy was sure to give Sammy the most important tip that a well rested firehouse dog is a good firehouse dog.

Continue to rest easy Matthew LeTourneau, thanks for the pets.

It’s with a heavy heart we learned of the passing of Philadelphia Fire Lieutenant Matthew LeTourneau this morning after the collapse of a building on fire in North Philly.
Rest Easy Matt.

***69 AND STILL !!!***

We are howling Happy Birthday today to our favorite pipeman William “Wild Bill” Sheehy as he turns 69. We celebrated last night, but his birthday party was cut short, by a first due box with fire showing!

Wild Bill first came to Kentland in the early 90’s, filling in while our members attended Firemen’s week in Ocean City. During that time he was working in Fairfax County, where he started as a volunteer in 1970, eventually retiring with 22.5 years.

After Fairfax Wild Bill still had the itch, so he applied for Baltimore City. Working there for 12 more years, spending a majority of his time on Engine 8 and finishing as an Acting Captain in Engine 20.

Still not done, he got another fire job closer to home, spending 5 years in Richmond, VA, mostly at another Elite company, Church Hill Engine 11.

After Richmond Bill decided to try and work with his son Chris, who was a Lieutenant in Petersburg, VA, so after a prolonged hiring process he went to do 5 more years there.

After 44.5 years as a career fireman Wild Bill finally decided to Retire for good. That didn’t last long though, just recently he went back to Richmond to drive their Air Unit!

October 5, of this year Wild Bill starts his 54th year as a volunteer fireman and still enjoys a hot first due fire.
