Media Advisory - Firefighting Father and Son Work Christmas Day Together

A veteran Fire Fighter/Medic Captain and his Fire Fighter/Medic son will spend Christmas Day together protecting the citizens and residents of Oxon Hill and surrounding Prince George's County communities.

John Elie and son, Chris, will have the rare opportunity to work together at the same station and it just happens to be on Christmas Day.

The Elie Family is rich in public safety tradition and understand not everyone can be home during the Holiday Season. The next best thing is to be able to work together and share the day with other members of the fire service while staffing a Paramedic Engine and Paramedic Ambulance at the Oxon Hill Fire/EMS Station #842, 1100 Marcy Avenue, 301-883-7742.

Members of the media are invited to stop by the station during their shift. Breakfast will be around 8:00 am and the entire 5th Battalion will attempt to share dinner together later in the day at the Oxon Hill Fire/EMS Station #821 on Livingston Road.

Please call me if you have any questions. Happy Holidays.
