I had the pleasure (most of the time), working on the same shift as Les at Oldtown. He was a very good chief and watched out for his men, and if he had to let you know that you screwed up, it was always done in private. He treated everyone the same, no matter rank, etc.

I would like to know who designed the the nice patch for the A.A. Co. Vol. Firefighters Association. Thank you Robert E. Bast, P.O. box 526 Shady Side, MD 20764

After nearly 50 years in fire protection and fire safety training, I look back fondly to AA Co. and especially to Riva VFD where I got "bitten" in 1958, and I've never regretted anything since.
Fondest regards to all at Riva, and to any members of Independant Hose when it responded from Duke of Gloucester/Market St.
Keep safe.

Thank you very much for posting a tribute to my grandfather Andrew Fleischmann. He was a very proud member of the fire fighting community.

Congrats to Delta Priest for being selected Firefighter/EMT/Admin Member of the Quarter.

I enjoy reading about the OVFD. My Son "Greg" was Lt. there and my heart is with you all daily, and I want each one to know they are in my Prayers daily, GOD BLESS EACH ONE OF YOU!!! Sincerely, Greg`s mom, jeanie kerns
