Below, please find the training announcement and schedule of classes for the mandatory MIEMSS protocol rollout, which is scheduled between April 9 and May 10. This 4 hour class is mandatory for all EMT's. If a member fails to complete the mandatory class, they will lose their affiliation with Frederick County, which essentially constitutes a loss of their EMT status. There is no need to register, simply report to a class that is convenient. Protocol books should be brought with students.

At 4:30 AM Monday, Alex Keepers made the drive he did many
early mornings, heading from his home in Frederick, MD, across the river, to
a Loudoun County fire station. Normally a pretty and quiet ride, this
morning it was treacherous.
Crossing the Potomac on Route 15 at Point of Rocks, Maryland State Police
say the Jeep Cherokee driven by Keepers slid on an icy spot and crossed from
the southbound lane to the northbound side. Traveling northbound at that
moment, a tractor-trailer hauling logs. The truck slammed into the side of
the SUV, killing the 31-year-old Keepers.
Alex Keepers joined the
Loudoun County
Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Management in 2002. His early
years were at Arcola Fire-Rescue Station 9. Keepers was promoted to
lieutenant just 6 months ago and had been assigned to Middleburg Fire-Rescue
Station 3.
In a statement Chief Joseph Pozzo said: “A loss of this magnitude, affects
our entire family. Alex was a valued member of our family and will be sorely
missed by all who knew and worked with him”.
Alex Keepers began his firefighting career at age 17. That's
when he joined the Independent Hose Company
of Frederick, MD, where he remained active until his death.
He leaves behind his parents, two brothers and two sisters.
Way to go Katarina!
Katarina Arnold competed in Frederick County's Junior Miss Fire Prevention pageant in October. Although she did not win, everyone in the CMFC family is extremely proud of her! Here she is with her father, Assistant Chief, Andy Arnold.
Have an upcoming event and need a place to have it? In addition to our
station we have an outdoor pavilion located on our Carnival Grounds.
