Eagle Archive: In 1923, sheriff busted the Hampstead fireman's carnival for gambling

By Kevin Dayhoff August 4, 2012 http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0805-20120801,0,2048595.story

On Wednesday, Aug. 1, 1923, the Hampstead Volunteer Fire Company carnival was accused of running a gambling operation and was shut down by Carroll County Sheriff William Phillips.

Phillips appeared on the carnival grounds with Carroll County State's Attorney Theodore F. Brown, and arrested the person in charge of the carnival's amusements, Thomas Zepp, and hauled him off to jail.

Pandemonium broke loose in Hampstead as a result. This was especially true because of the significance the Hampstead fireman's carnival has played in the history of the town…

Westminster Fire Department: Public safety personnel gather at Westminster Fire Hall for mark National EMS Week

Public safety personnel gather at Westminster Fire Hall for mark National EMS Week

Tuesday, May 22, 2012

This week, May 20 – May 26, is National EMS Week when emergency medical crews in Carroll County and throughout the country are honored for their work.

To mark the occasion, emergency medical services providers, firefighters, and administrative personnel at the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 gathered for a luncheon Tuesday in the day room of firehouse.

A proclamation by Westminster Mayor Kevin Utz was presented that noted that emergency medical services are a vital public service and that members of the EMS teams “are ready to provide lifesaving care to those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week…”

EMS personnel are often on the front line and are among the first to arrive upon the scene of an accident, medical emergency or natural disaster.

Whether it is an injury as the result of a crime, home or workplace accident, a fire, automobile accident, heart attack, or a natural disaster, EMS personnel arrive in minutes to attend to the sick or injured on site and see to it that the patients are safely transported to the hospital.

EMS Week dates back to when President Gerald Ford first declared November 3 – 10, 1974 National Emergency Medical Services Week. Over the years, the week to recognize the work of EMS personnel moved to various dates in the calendar year before it was settled in 1992 to be the 3^rd week in May.

This year’s theme for National EMS Week is “EMS: More Than A Job. A Calling.” To listen to the public safety personnel at the luncheon, it is obvious that putting aside their own personal safety to save the lives of others is a calling – especially for the many EMS providers who volunteer their services for the Westminster fire department or any of the fourteen volunteer departments in Carroll County.

Mt. Airy Volunteer Fire Company - April 2, 1971: Now's The Time To Rid Property Of Fire Hazards

Now's The Time To Rid Property Of Fire Hazards - Spring into action against fire hazards now that Spring Clean-Up time is here, is the advice of the Mt. Airy Volunteer Fire Company.

Trash and rubbish are breeding places for fires. The following is a four-point program for spring clean-up action:

1. Clean out stacks of newspapers and magazines; discard old clothing, mattresses, furniture, lamp shades, draperies, etc., that clutter up the attic, basement and closets.

2. Do the same clean up job in your home workshop. Get rid of shavings, oily rags, old paint, etc.

3. Get after the trash in the garage and remove the dead grass and brush around and near the house.

4. Have your furnace, chimneys, and stoves inspected and cleaned now. Don't wait until fall when you may get caught by the first cold snap. A little "elbow grease" now may save a lot of grief later. And if you have to burn trash, etc., watch it closely so it will not get out of control.

The 2012 slate of officers for the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No.1 were sworn into office by Steve Wantz, the president of the Carroll County Volunteer Emergency Services Association, at the January 5, 2012 monthly company meeting in John Street Quarters at the firehall.

Recently a reader asked if fire and ambulance calls (for service) increase with the warmer weather and if the fire department get more calls in the winter or the summer.

And the answer is yes.  The calls never seem to stop--morning, noon, night and day, 365 days out of the year.

Actually I did not know the answer, so I asked someone smarter than me. Jim Bangerd is a longstanding veteran firefighter, past president of the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No.1 and the current chief of the fire suppression side of the department.

Bangerd said, “The calls are pretty consistent throughout the year.  They, the numbers that is, do not vary that much.  You get some calls that are winter, or weather related.  Maybe a sledding accident in the winter…"

“You get calls that are specific to the time of the year.  I mean, we’re not going to get too many sledding calls in July,” said Bangerd with a chuckle.

“Then maybe in the summer we’ll get a call for a lawn mower accident, or an ATV (all terrain vehicles) accident. The bulk of our calls remain motor vehicle accidents and unfortunately they remain pretty steady throughout the year.”

Here's just a sampling of the calls that came in during the last week. Check out the related pictures too. This information was taken from the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No.1 website.  The information on the website was reported by Marques for the Fire Department...  http://westminster.patch.com/blog_posts/blog-never-a-dull-moment-at-the-westminster-fire-house
