#Update: The source of the spill into Four Mile Run was determined to be an underground oil tank in the area of S. Carlin Springs Road and Columbia Pike. A clean up contractor, our #HazMat team, and other county agencies are on scene. Use caution in the area as there is a sheen of product on the roadway.

Crews from Rescue 109 participated in the evaluation of new breathing apparatus both yesterday and today.

Keeping firefighters safe is critical & expensive, so when it's time to purchase new equipment, we put a lot of time & effort in to research & testing to ensure we make wise, cost effective purchases that will hold up to the job, & keep our members from getting injured. We're currently testing different brands of Self Contained Breathing Apparatus and turnout gear with our partners at DC Fire And EMS Members are using the equipment while they perform numerous reps of normal fire functions to see what equipment will best serve us while we serve our communities.
