75 years ago, Liberty Road Volunteer Fire Company was founded in a small garage in Harrisonville, MD. Although our birthday isn't until July, we were honored to welcome Comptroller Peter Franchot to Station 46 on Wednesday, May 11, for a special proclamation. We were pleased to accept this Certificate of Recognition, which reads as follows: In honor of your 75th year of service to the Randallstown community and surrounding areas. With special appreciation for your courageous and selfless actions to save lives and protect property on a daily basis. Best wishes for continued health, safety and fulfillment for many years to come. Presented this 11th day of May 2022 Peter Franchot, Comptroller We thank the Comptroller, his staff, and all who make LRVFC what it is today.

Liberty Road got the opportunity to train with members of our extended family. The Pikesville Volunteer Fire Company joined us one rainy morning to review vehicle operations including rescue ops. Internal training is one of the key concepts we do a lot of however when we get the opportunity we take them to learn new techniques, about new equipment, and learn how to better ourselves while protecting our communities.

Today the Baltimore City Fire Department will honor, remember, and forever memorialize their fallen firefighters from the tragic events that unraveled on January 24, 2022. Thousands of Firefighters and 1st Responders across the country will gather in Baltimore this morning to recognize three of the bravest, who's bravery and dedication to service has resulted them making the ultimate sacrifice protecting the lives and property of the citizens of Baltimore. We on this day we remember Lieutenant Kelsey Sadler Lieutenant Paul Butrim Firefighter / Paramedic Kenneth Lacayo Please be advised; multiple areas of Downtown Baltimore and areas along the I-83 corridor will be very congested.

Over the past 24+ hours Liberty Road Volunteer Fire Company responded to over 20 calls for service. Several sprinkler system failures forced the relocation of several residents in Owings Mills, multiple vehicle accidents in and around Randallstown, and several medical calls all proved for a sleepless night. We thank all of the volunteers who joined our career counter parts to respond to the many calls that were dispatched during the storm.
