It is with profound sadness to report the sudden passing of a GREAT man. Chief Finamore was a true leader and a hell of a FIREMAN! He was a well respected man in all aspects of the job and throughout all ranks of leadership. His leadership and respect for all will never be forgotten. Prayers go out to his family, friends, co-workers and all those grieving his loss! Chief, may you Rest In Peace Sir!

This day 19 years ago the world changed as we know. We come back each year to remember those we lost and remember what that tragedy brought to us in the days that followed. Those who innocently woke up that morning and went to work not knowing it was their last goodbye to their families. Those brave men and women who showed up to work that morning, took the call and went in after those in need. We now think of those who are still grieving the loss of their loved ones and the memories they cherish everyday for the rest of their lives. WE will NEVER forget the sacrifice and the service that was delivered on this day and the years that followed!

Busy day for The Bomberos so far today. B-Shift personnel are on duty today staffing the firehouse with 5 personnel. Multiple box alarms and gas leaks rang out to start off the morning with a few medical calls sprinkled in for the wagon and truck while the ambulance took in a couple medical calls as well.

Just before noon, Truck 34 (with 3) was dispatched to 5000 Rhode Island Avenue for a report of a building fire. While units were enroute, communications advised that there were now reports of a car on fire in the parking garage attached to the building. First arriving units confirmed there to be a car on fire with heavy smoke conditions on multiple floors of the garage. Truck 34 operated as the search company and was later tasked with the ventilation group. Crews operated on scene for a couple hours before clearing right when the storms hit and flash flooding in the Hyattsville area occurred.

Once the storms rolled in, the 4th Battalion and surrounding areas were getting multiple calls for vehicles stuck in water, flooding conditions in homes, vehicle accidents, building fires, medical calls and many other incident types. The crews from 34 were up and down the street during this time responding to all call types to help the citizens in need.
