A contingent of Prince George's County Firefighters will depart at midnight tonight to attend funeral services for two Bridgeport, CT Firefighters that lost their lives in the line of duty. One of the firefighters, Lt. Steven Velasquez, is a former member of our Department and maintained numerous friendships in this area.

We ask that everyone keep the Velasquez and Baik families in their hearts, thoughts and prayers. A caravan of Prince George's County Career and Volunteer Fire Fighters will be making the journey to Bridgeport, Connecticut to pay tribute to our fallen Brother. Two vans will be leaving from the Union Hall at Midnight on Friday morning to go to the Funerals in Bridgeport and will return Friday night after the ceremonies. Please give VP Crisman a call at 410-365-2813 to reserve your spot.
