On April 14th and 15th six members of the department went up to Gun Powder River in Baltimore County for class. The training involved rescuing victims and self rescue. The class went over types of equipment. This class would increase the total amount of Swift Water Technicians at the station from 6 to 12. This will help in the development of the county Water Rescue Team which includes Companies 5, Marbury Co. 8, and the Charles County Dive Unit 13. The class included members from Marbury VFD Co.8, Potomac Heights VFD Co.7, PGFD, Charles County Emergency Services Co. 16, and Cabin John VFD.

Units: Utilty 5, Chief 5B
