The Prince
George’s County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association will hold their 94th
Annual Convention and 86th Annual Convention of the Ladies Auxiliary during the
week of September 24 through October 1, 2016.
This years convention will be hosted by the Branchville Volunteer Fire
Company Rescue Squad, Inc. in College Park.
Many of the convention activities involve business meetings, dinners and election of officers, however, there are several events open to the public that are quite entertaining to watch. For instance, On Saturday, September 24th there are Extrication Contests and a Drivers Rodeo that will test the skills of firefighters in disassembling vehicles using the “jaws of life” and skill in driving large pieces of fire apparatus.
All the events below will be held at the Branchville Fire/EMS station located at 4905 Branchville Road in College Park. Events held at a different location are noted.
