Thinking of Guy Garheart while watching "Emergency" with Mom


Thinking of Guy Garheart while watching "Emergency" with Mom. "Roger that Rampart. Squad 51 calling Rampart. 10-4 Rampart" 7Mar2017. Mom watches it every day out of respect to Uncle Wilbur, who volunteered for The Westminster Vol. Fire Dept. for perhaps 60 years. I am trying to figure out which character is playing Guy... Or Max, Kim, or Jason

Carroll County Times: EMS technology extends careers


Carroll County Times: EMS technology extends careers at the Westminster Md Vol Fire Co

EMS technology extends careers at the Westminster Md Vol Fire Co http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2016/03/carroll-county-times-ems-technology.html


Retrieved Tuesday, March 1, 2016

Volunteers at our local fire companies sometimes put their lives on the line battling blazes, but a majority of the calls these departments receive are to respond to medical emergencies. While — for the volunteer responders at least — they aren't facing a life or death situation for these calls, they are often putting wear and tear on their bodies, which shortens careers.

So we were happy to see the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department demonstrate last week the latest technology to be deployed by the department, Stryker Power Load System stretcher, which allows patients to be loaded and easily put into ambulances, saving the stress on volunteers' limbs and spines.

Fire Department Lt. Brett Pearce told us that about half of the department's line-of-duty retirements for emergency medical service workers each year are due to back injuries, which occur when lifting and carrying people out of their homes on a stretcher.


[…]

Yet, that's exactly the situation volunteers at some of these companies are facing. Westminster Volunteer Fire Department alone responded to 5,743 EMS calls last year, making it one of the busiest volunteer agencies in the state, according to the department's Public Information Officer Kevin Dayhoff. For almost every EMS call, a paramedic is lifting a stretcher four times — in and out at the scene and again at the hospital. While we'd like to think they follow proper form every time, we know that isn't realistic, especially when time is of the essence for the patient.

Paramedic Michael Bryant Golden, Jr., 32, died suddenly on September 2, 2015



Michael Bryant Golden, Jr. November 3, 1982 - September 2, 2015

Obituary for Michael Bryant Golden, Jr.


Michael Bryant Golden, Jr., 32, of York, PA, died suddenly on September 2, 2015 as the result of a motor vehicle accident outside of Lineboro.

Born November 3, 1982 in Baltimore, he was the son of Michael B. Golden, Sr. and wife Tonni of Westminster and Denise Lee Woods Kelly and husband Peter of York, PA. He is survived by Amy Golden, the mother of his child Mikayla Anne Golden and step-daughter Caroline Hake, all of York.

Michael was a Paramedic for Anne Arundel County Fire Department, Station 31, in Brooklyn Park, working on D Shift. He was a 2000 graduate of Westminster High School.

He was a best friend, side kick, and the little Mike to the big Mike. He was a confidant and friend to so many. He loved loud country music and big pick-up trucks. When he wasn't saving lives in Brooklyn (with his team of superheroes), you could find him in the gym lifting weights, out in a field getting muddy, or out with his friends singing bad karaoke. He loved as big as he laughed. His heart belonged to his daughter, Mikayla and in her eyes he will always be Superman. He loved his friends and his family, and truly had a passion for medicine. His professional life was devoted to the fire department and he was recently awarded Paramedic of the Year. He is now with his Superman (Pop-Pop) and dancing with Mom-Mom in Heaven.

Also surviving in addition to his parents is his soulmate Julia Troy of York; siblings Kaitlyn Akers (Andrew) and Kory Trudo (Katie); grandparents Susan Woods, William Woods (Deborah), Paul Custer (Marie); nieces and nephews Gunner & Sydney Akers and Kamdyn & Harper Trudo; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by grandparents Bernie and Anne Golden.

A Memorial Service will be held on Monday at 3 pm at St. John Catholic Church, 43 Monroe St., Westminster. Officiating will be Rev. Joel Coleman. Interment will be private.

The family will receive friends at the Church from 2 pm until start of services.

In lieu of flowers, the family will accept donations to a Go Fund Me Page (Wounded Warriors Project or Best Buddies Maryland or Breast Cancer Research) that will be set up. Please see the Michael Golden, Jr. Memorial Page set up on Facebook.

Cremation arrangements by Pritts Funeral Home and Chapel, 412 Washington Rd., Westminster.

Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company Statement LODD Incident In Bel Air

Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company Statement Line of Duty Death Incident In Bel Air

6th January 2015


Early in the day, the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Department released a preliminary statement – then later in the day, after the family had been notified, the department released the name of the line of duty death to be that of Paramedic Erik Steciak, 29. Paramedic Steciak was a paid EMS employee who worked for the BAVFC since December 2011.

The Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company regrets to announce the line of duty passing of Paramedic Erik Steciak, 29. Paramedic Steciak was a paid EMS employee who worked for the BAVFC since December 2011.

He was also an active member of the West Friendship Volunteer Fire Company in Howard County, MD where he served as Captain and paramedic.

The Board of Directors, Officers and Members of the BAVFC express their sincerest condolences to Erik’s family and to the West Friendship VFC. Funeral services will be posted once final arrangements are completed.

Earlier Statement:

1/6/14: At 1350hrs the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a motor vehicle collision with injury in the 300blk of Patterson Mill Rd.

It was reported that a vehicle had run off the roadway into an embankment and the injured subject was in a nearby residence.

On fire department arrival it was determined that the best access to the patient was via four wheel drive assist due to the extreme weather and driveway conditions. Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company Utility 373, a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD equipped with a snow plow responded for the four wheel drive request.

As the utility vehicle proceeded down the driveway it began to slide. At some point during the slide a member of the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company, a paramedic provider, was struck by the utility.

He was treated at the scene and transported in grave condition to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center where he later succumbed to his injuries.

The Harford County Sheriff’s Office is conducting a preliminary investigation into this non traffic related fatality. Indications point to weather being a major factor in this incident.


Further information on the identity of the person involved will be released once family notifications are made. Media is asked to contact Rich Gardiner and/or Jenn Chenworth- Price for any questions.

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


Westminster Volunteer Fire Department EMS providers Laura Tyler, left, and Jared Davis, right, review a proclamation for National EMS Week by Westminster Mayor Kevin Utz. Photo by Kevin Dayhoff

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 3rd 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.
