RVFD members attended the Annual Maryland State Firemen's Convention in Ocean City, MD. This convention is held every year and consists of several training seminars, convention meetings and numerous vendors displaying the latest rescue and firefighting equipment available.
Along with RVFD Vice President Bobby Balta being elected 1st Vice President to the MSFA, Ridge received first place in the Class I for fire prevention. Also, members traveled Wednesday to enter Engine 42 and Command 4 in the parade held in downtown Ocean City. Engine 42 received a judges award following the parade.
Ending the week with relaxation, several members participated in a golf tournament held at Eagle's Landing Golf Course in Ocean City. Profits from the tournament went to the Maryland Fallen Firefighters Memorial Foundation. A good time was had by all!
