#BMORESBravest & #BCFDEMS are training with @BWIFire today. Every 3 years there’s a simulated plane crash at @BWI_Airport. The drill refreshes the skills of airport staff & first responders. Hopefully they will never have to use the skills for a real call, but if so they’re ready

Fire fighters serve our communities 24/7: never hesitating to run towards danger. But many are working at firehouses in disrepair. The new bill we announced today would provide the resources they need to better support their mission.

On Friday, I had the privilege of addressing members of the International Association of Fire Fighters at their spring meeting. We owe a great deal of gratitude to these men and women who continuously answer the call to protect our families and our communities.

This from the "doctor" who voted against continued medical benefits for those who became ill working at ground zero after 9/11. But enjoy the performative politics with your @GOP pals who seem anxious to keep their constituents infected with COVID-19
Union Leaders from across Maryland met with @SenBillFerg this evening to discuss Professional Fire Fighter needs in the upcoming session
