PRINCE FREDERICK NEWS

May 5, 2008 - Today was a sad day at Prince Frederick VFD, as we said goodbye to our beloved E21. E21 was sold to Mount Jackson VRSFD in Virginia. Mount Jackson is ironically Company 21 in Shenandoah County, therefore an additional "1" was placed on the grill of the Engine. E21 has served the Prince Frederick VFD proudly for the last 19 years and will be sorely missed. This sale was to make way for our new Seagrave which will be in soon.

May 4, 2008 - At 0900 hours, the members of PFVFD gathered to put the final touches on the apparatus for the Southern Maryland Parade. Cmd2, Car2, J2, B2, E21, E22, TL2 and Tnk2 then proceeded to St Leonard where the convention was being held this year. The parade started at 1230 hours with most Southern Maryland units attending. Games were held in the rear of Company 7 immediately following the parade. Prince Frederick received the following trophies and awards at the day's end:

Best Appearing Company Overall, 2nd Best Appearing Platform, 2nd Best Appearing Tanker, 2nd Best Appearing Brush Unit and 1st Place in the Battle of the Bucket. Thanks to all of the members who spent time cleaning the apparatus and participated in the parade. Special thanks to St Leonard for a great convention. Sadly, this will be E21's last parade as it will be leaving for it's new home tomorrow.

April 30, 2008 - At 1041 hours, the Prince Frederick Volunteers and surrounding companies were alerted to Box 2-11 for smoke. E22, TL2 and E21 responded across the street to the Jasper's.
