Silver Spring Fire Department

Congratulations to Chris Hoagland on his promotion to Lieutenant. He is pictured here with his growing family, and we wish him the best in his new position. /rjf

Justin Parker is now promoted from firefighter to Lieutenant. Justin spent the entirety of his career so far in the 1st Battalion with an initial assignment at Fire Station 12 followed by a transfer to Fire Station 16. Unfortunately his days of driving the tractor drawn aerial are now in his past, but we are certain he will excel in his new position. Congratulations! /rjf

Shout out to our career colleagues at Silver Spring stations ... lots of good stuff over the past few weeks.
