Spring has arrived (although someone forgot to tell the month of March so). This is a great time to inspect and clean our stations so that our members and our visitors remain safe. This month’s issue of Back Step Talks focuses on in-station safety issues. Take time to read this important information and share with others.

Our Back Step issues have a home at http://mdchief.org/page/backsteptalks. Be sure to visit to download this month’s issue and any back issues that you may have missed.

Comments and feedback are always welcome.
