February MSFA Executive Committee Meeting Held in Stevensville
On this weekend in early February, as a cold, Chesapeake Bay wind swept across Kent Island, over 130 Maryland Fire Service representatives and partner agency staff assembled at an early hour in Stevensville. With a packed agenda of business that spans Saturday and Sunday, President Blair and his leadership team welcomed the member companies from Mountain Maryland to the Shore. This Executive Committee meeting is being hosted by the United Communities Volunteer Fire Department. Throughout the morning, MSFA officer reports, along with reports from partner first response agencies filled the schedule, as matters of significant interest to Maryland and its volunteer fire service were addressed.
Wherever the Association holds its meetings, an enormous amount of work goes into supporting these regional sessions. At Stevensville, long before the public safety representatives started arriving at 7:30 am, members of the United Communities Volunteer Fire Department and the UCVFD Auxiliary were busy in the kitchen. A hot breakfast greeted representatives as they arrived, and then the volunteers served a superb Eastern Shore noonday meal. That work continued the next day, as the second round of meetings continued.
