Day 2 is a wrap
The forcible entry guys hit more doors today than some will hit in their careers.
They have 8 more hours of leverage tomorrow.

Jerry's search group turned it up this afternoon.
With FE, hoarding, VES, lone OVM ops, these guys worked their butts off.

Shupes lecture class put in a full day in the classroom. Jeff dusted off some VHS tapes for this one. Kids ask your parents what those are.

We wrap up tomorrow with Shupe hitting the drill field. Water water everywhere.
If the students are dry at the end, they missed something.

The Forcible Entry crew will be turning up the heat tomorrow with another 8 hours of skills and challenges.

Thanks to all who have made Chesapeake Fire Conference a success. Together we will with Sons of the Flag

CMD Fools is helping with a Fire Training Conference in October @ Anne Arundel County Fire training center. The conference developed through a desire to bring training to the area and create fellowship and comradere within the area. CMD Fools has been silent for a while and we have been doing a reboot of sorts. Well this event will help propel the group. I ask each of you to check out the link and consider signing up for a class or two. The monies received will go to Sons of the Flag which benefits injured firefighters and military personnel.

At the event we will host a social night for you to meet and talk to the instructors as well as raffles and other giveaways. We will be raffling off tickets to benefit Fire Lieutenant Nathan Flynn of Howard County. We will also have Brothers from FDNY of the Harlem Hilton raffling off a pro bar designed by Connecticut Custom Fire Training. They will also be on site selling shirts to benefit their fallen brother.

Huge announcement coming from CMD. Stay tuned and pay attention to the site.

We will be re opening our membership process.
Creating some training events. And moving this chapter forward.
