To honor her exceptional service, ECS Mummert was presented with a stork pin and certificate, symbols of recognition for her critical role in facilitating the delivery. “We are incredibly proud of ECS Bethani Mummert for her professionalism, dedication, and ability to provide life-saving assistance in moments that truly matter,” said Director of Emergency Management and Communications, Alan Matheny. “Her quick thinking and adherence to established protocols exemplify the excellence of our emergency communications team.” Washington County congratulates ECS Mummert and extends its warmest wishes to the family on the arrival of their healthy baby girl.

The Washington County Division of Emergency Servic The Washington County Division of Emergency Services (DES) is pleased to announce the completion of its EMS Employee transition agreement with Hancock Rescue Squad, effective today, Saturday, November 23, 2024. This milestone follows the approval of the employee transition Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) earlier this year, which allows DES to integrate the current EMS employees of Hancock Rescue Squad into County employment. This staffing transition will also help to enhance emergency services in the Hancock and surrounding areas by adding eight (8) new Firefighters/Fire Apparatus Operators, ensuring dedicated 24-hour staffing for Hancock’s Rescue Squad. These enhancements also help to address critical concerns raised by the Hancock Fire Department regarding delayed mutual aid response times and staffing challenges in the remote Hancock area. Hancock’s Rescue Squad plays a vital role in providing EMS, rescue, and firefighting operations to Western Washington County. Response times from mutual aid units often exceed 15-20 minutes, with some units arriving understaffed. To improve these conditions, DES has worked to: ♦️ Transition existing EMS employees into County employment. ♦️ Create consistent staffing for Rescue Squad 59, ensuring immediate response capabilities. ♦️ Lay the groundwork for staffing a second ambulance owned by the Hancock Rescue Squad. The County has worked diligently to ensure a seamless transition for the EMS employees joining DES, including providing access to County resources, uniforms, and email accounts for operational communication. While the EMS transition employees will initially staff EMS transport units, DES is actively recruiting and hiring to fill vacant positions for the fire and rescue staffing.

The Washington County's Office of Emergency Manage The Washington County's Office of Emergency Management shares the following update on behalf of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR): The Maryland DNR has announced the lifting of the statewide ban on outdoor burning, effective immediately. This decision comes as recent rainfall has alleviated elevated wildfire risks, improving safety conditions across the state. The ban, which was enacted during a period of heightened fire danger, restricted outdoor burning activities to protect lives, property, and Maryland’s natural resources. With conditions now deemed safe for controlled burns, residents may resume outdoor burning while adhering to local and state regulations. 🔥Important Reminders for Safe Outdoor Burning: 🔹 Always obtain the necessary permits or approvals from your local jurisdiction before burning. 🔹 Monitor weather conditions closely. Avoid burning on windy days. 🔹 Keep a water source or fire extinguisher readily available to control the fire if needed. 🔹 Never leave a fire unattended, and ensure it is fully extinguished before leaving the site. 🔹 Follow all local and state guidelines regarding the types of materials that may be burned. The Maryland DNR and local emergency management offices remind the public to remain vigilant and exercise caution when engaging in outdoor burning activities to prevent wildfires and ensure community safety. For more information on outdoor burning regulations, visit the Maryland Department of Natural Resources website at https://dnr.maryland.gov.
