Thanks to everyone who helped me throughout my career. There were so many influential people that I cannot list them all, but I can never thank them enough. I have been truly blessed to serve with so many outstanding public servants in MD and NOVA.

And that's it......in the blink of an eye, 44 years in the fire service comes to an end. I started in 1979 as a volunteer at @IndependentHose in Frederick, MD, then 1982-2003 w/ @PGFDNews, and then 20 yrs with @LoudounFire. Very bittersweet but proud of my accomplishments.

Congratulations to @LCFR_DCTRAINING on your upcoming retirement!! @Chief600KJ @LoudounFire @PGFDNews

20 years ago today I began my second Fire-Rescue career with @LoudounFire (after spending 21 years with @PGFDNews). Hard to believe that in 18 days, I’ll retire. Where has the time gone? 🚒 🔥 🚑

Today is the 1 year anniversary of the Stricker Street fire that took the life’s Kelsey, Paul and Kenny. Please take a moment today to remember their life’s that were tragically cut short as well as prayers for their family and friends. @BCFDL734

I'm glad to see others are now following our lead on removing unnecessary college-degree requirements for jobs. We should reward skills and hard work, not excessive credentialism. It's time to debunk the fiction that an expensive degree is the only key to the American dream.

Today, Kristina Moon spoke to Probationary Firefighters at the Fire Academy about the importance of organ donation. To learn how you can sign up to be a donor visit @LiveOnNewYork. Read more: bit.ly/3kj4e8N

This weekend marks the 51st anniversary of the TV Show Emergency (Squad 51). We know this dates you a bit, but how many of you became interested in the fire service from watching this show? We had these same tones for a while back in the day! #flashpointequipment
