Busy weekend for CVFD

It was a busy weekend for CVFD. We had members attending the Emergency Vehicle Operator's Course, which will allow them to driver emergency vehicles. We also had several members take our apparatus to the neighborhood Day Parade down Wilson Blvd. Utility 103 and Light and Air 103 both were staffed during the event while one member escorted Sparky the Fire Dog during the parade. One member was staffing the volunteer-operated Ambulance 102, which provides Basic Life Support EMS to the County and helped out at several special events, including the first annual Battle of the Boulevard's 10k, the parade, and a taekwondo studio's annual Kick-A-Thon to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. All told, we treated 10 patients throughout the day. That afternoon, all county fire volunteers were treated to dinner by the Arlington County Fire and Rescue Association, where they gathered for BBQ. Another active day by the volunteer firefighters of Arlington County.
