Congratulations are in order for two members of our Fire/EMS
Department. Duane J. Hull, Chief of the
Laurel Volunteer Fire Department and Acting Assistant Fire Chief Sayshan L.
Conver-White have been selected by the Veterans of Foreign War (VFW) Post 7757,
Kettering-Largo, as Firefighter/EMT’s of the Year.
Volunteer Chief Hull was selected for his rescue of another firefighter that had fallen through a burned out staircase while battling a
townhouse fire in Howard County on July 12, 2015. Chief Hull was able to pull the
firefighter out of the burned out stairwell to safety by himself. The firefighter
sustained burn injuries to his hands and if it had not been for the quick and
heroic actions of Chief Hull the firefighter surly would have sustained more
serious injuries.
Assistant Fire Chief Conver-White was selected for her Safety Officer accomplishments including but not limited to Chairing the
Washington Metropolitan Council of Governments Safety and Health Committee,
Co-Chair of the Maryland Emergency Services Life Safety Task Force and being chosen
as the National Safety officer of the Year in 2015.
In congratulatory letters from Mr. Peter L. Moore, VFW Awards
Chairman, he writes, “You make your family, department and community very
proud.” Indeed they have.
“I could not be more proud of Laurel Volunteer Chief Hull
and Assistant Chief Conver-White,” stated Prince George’s County Fire Chief
Marc S. Bashoor. “They both demonstrate
professionalism and what it takes to be an outstanding individual and member of
the Fire/EMS Department.”
Volunteer Chief Hull and Assistant Chief Conver-White have
been invited to attend the VFW Awards Ceremony on Saturday, March 5, 2016 at
11:00 am. The award ceremony will be
held at the Kettering Community Association, 11801 Chesterton Drive in upper Marlboro,
MD.
