Charles County Board of County Commissioner Gilbert "BJ" Bowling attended our bi-monthly meeting last night and presented Recognition Certificates to each of our volunteer Fire and EMS departments who responded to the fire incident on August 28 at 4:10 AM.
Staff at the Green Acres Nursing and Rehabilitation Center notified the 911 center of a fire reported at the rear of the building and on the roof. This prompted an immediate response by Charles County Fire and EMS Departments, who arrived within minutes and confirmed an active fire and smoke at the roof line.
Bowling stated, "When an incident involves some of the most vulnerable members of our community, every helping hand matters. The response at Green Acres was a tremendous example of agencies coming together with one common mission — protecting lives and taking care of our citizens."
We thank the Charles County Board of County Commissioners for recognizing the dedication, professionalism, and teamwork demonstrated by our first responders during the incident.
