I cut my finger at work (deep; wouldn't stop bleeding) I didn't ask them to look at the finger or anything all i aske was, "Do you have any extra bandage ?" this bitch going to say "oh yall should have bandaids if not you're breaking OSHA" somebody is injured I thought the job was to help they fucking suck she lucky I was worried about my finger I would have spit on that bitch. It was literally a yes or no question but she just had to abuse the little power she had. Won't be needing them ever again. Not sure what department but it happened yesterday 4/7/26 at Giant on Sinclair Ln, they were the first responders to a seizure call it was the only woman that was with them she had blonde hair

From my experience the city fire department has some fantastic public servants working hard to keep…read morepeople safe. It's very easy to get cynical about city government in Baltimore but my limited experiences (never had an actual fire thank god) with these guys has been great. The first time I needed them someone at our house was having a medical emergency. They responded quickly and seemed like serious professionals when they got here. More recently we had a false fire alarm at our house and because we were not home the alarm company dispatched the fire department to see what was going on. Unfortunately they had to bust into our house but they were careful to do it in a way that caused minimal damage and did not leave the house vulnerable to being broken into until we got home. When I spoke with one of the responding fire fighters on the phone to explain the false alarm situation he was super-nice about it and not at all unpleasant about the fact that they'd wasted their time over a twitchy smoke detector.

I had the pleasure of being able to take a day off work to attend a meeting of one of the Boards…read morethat I serve on for the MSFA at the Riviera Beach Volunteer Fire Company yesterday. We held our meeting in their Hall upstairs at their Fire Station. The volunteers did an awesome job with having to "order in" since Jonathan Atkinson and Former Chief Kenny Hyde's daughter from nearby Baltimore (who apparently now own or run t/a "Coastal Construction") So excited to hear that while I was on that side of the draw-bridge that this construction company is NOW just about to honor the correct completion without questions of their renovation of the Hall Kitchen and bathrooms and bring them up to code before they finish the job at the nearby restaurant they are currently working on. It will be great to see their comapny be able to get back to their fund raising efforts. Look forward to attending BINGO one Friday night in the near future and hearing that this Career Baltimore County Firefighter and Fireman's Daughter are doing the right thing in the name of public service. It is great that they will even be removing the old bathroom fixtures and replacing them with new ones just to be kind. ...WOW!

Today, our air conditioner caused the outlet to smoke up. The house was full of smelly thin smoke…read moreand the outlet was covered in black stuff. I called the fire department (this one obviously) and explained that it wasn't a huge situation. I explained that it smelled like chlorine and that there was smoke. Three fire trucks showed up. Me and my mother and brother were standing on the sidewalk when one of the fire men, dragging the fire hose into the house, rudely shouted at us to move. Only one of the fire men actually told us what was going on. And what's worse, they went to go check out the basement and ended up RIPPING THE ENTIRE DOOR OFF OF THE HINGES! I don't understand why people don't know how to open doors. They ended up leaning the door back on the frame and they turned all of our power off. They left without telling us about the door. My father almost fell down the steep stone stairs to the basement. I understand it most likely was protocol but I don't think they had to be rude about it. I also don't think they should've ripped our door off. -Logan

The local volunteer fire department in Severna Park, MD…read more The cool thing about most fire departments is that they have some common areas that they rent out to the public for a variety of functions. This one has a good bit of space for larger events. The annual Privateer Feast fundraiser for breast cancer research was moved to this venue for the first time this year - as we had outgrown the old venue and were turning people away! The place has a large kitchen, multiple sets of restrooms, and a stage for performing acts.

I would like to acknowledge and thank volunteer Ian who gave me…read more wonderful assistance tonight. He was courteous, more than helpful, and helped an 80 yo woman to find her way home. I was hopelessly lost and becoming more frantic with each passing minute. Ian and his associate (I never got her name) assured me they would help, and indeed they did. I am sending their Unit (#500) a donation for their fine work. In this day and age too many people avoid "getting involved", but not the truly caring people like this group. I regard them as my guardian angels. To just say "thank you" does not seem adequate. Blessings to all of them! M. Barbara R.
