Volunteers took part in a volunteer weekend starting on Friday February 24, 2011 at 5pm throughout the whole weekend. Volunteers spent numerous hours working on annual recerts and training that included: water supply, SOP's, pulling attack lines, drivers training, auto extrication and several other back to the basic refreshers. The auxiliary provided breakfast, lunch and dinner, which was a great help so we could stay focused on training. We even ran a few calls; one being a small fire in a basement, transferred to Frederick County Station 15 and ran the normal everyday calls. This weekend was beneficial to every member and showed that there is still a great volunteer presence at Company 17 and that we will continue to provide service to the community.
