✅ Allowed: small recreational fires such as campfires, barbeques, and gas grills

🚫 Not allowed: open burning under a permit, burning brush/debris, or burning household trash/rubbish

Violations may result in fines. For more information, please visit the Frederick County Health Department alert page:

Today, we pause to remember the men and women who gave everything in service to others.

Memorial Day is a day of reflection, gratitude, and remembrance for the fallen heroes who answered the call without hesitation. Their sacrifice protects the freedoms we enjoy and reminds us of the true cost of service.

As firefighters, EMTs, and volunteers, we understand the commitment that comes with serving a community. Today, we honor those who never made it home, the military members, first responders, and all heroes who laid down their lives for others.

Please join us in taking a moment to remember the brave, support the families they left behind, and never forget their sacrifice. 🇺🇸

Today we recognize EMS for Children Day, a special part of EMS Week focused on pediatric emergency care. 👶🚑

Children are not just “small adults.” Treating pediatric emergencies requires specialized training, equipment, and calm under pressure.

From infant airway equipment to child-sized blood pressure cuffs and medication dosing, EMS providers train extensively to care for our youngest patients when families need help most.

Thank you to every provider who helps comfort scared children and supports families during difficult moments. ❤️

Behind every EMS call is equipment designed to help save a life.

From cardiac monitors and airway bags to stair chairs and trauma supplies, EMS providers train constantly to use these tools quickly and effectively when seconds matter most.

Your support through fundraisers and community events helps departments like ours purchase and maintain lifesaving equipment for Brunswick and beyond. 🚑💙

Thank you for supporting Station 5.

The people responding to your emergencies are also your neighbors.

They coach sports teams. Raise families. Volunteer at events. Work full-time jobs. Then answer calls in the middle of the night because this community matters to them.

EMS is more than lights and sirens, it’s compassion, training, sacrifice, and service.

This EMS Week, take a moment to thank an EMT or paramedic for what they do every day. 🚑❤️

This week, we celebrate the EMTs, paramedics, firefighters, dispatchers, nurses, and support personnel who answer the call day or night, rain or shine.

National EMS Week is about honoring the people behind the radios, the ambulances, the jump bags, and the lifesaving moments.

Thank you to every provider who misses holidays, skips meals, stays late, comforts strangers, and serves this community with compassion and skill. ❤️🚑

From Brunswick and Station 5, thank you for supporting your local volunteers and career providers all year long.
