Its really nice out and we enjoy it too. We also live in a reality that the risk of a serious vehicle crash goes up. Company 17 is witness to this often and we hear it across the County almost daily now. A fatal vehicle crash or fatal pedestrian struck. A bicycle or motorcycle crash, when the mechanism of serious injury is higher. PLEASE be SAFE on the roads, do not be distracted and do not speed.

DRIVE WITH COMMON SENSE.

The LDVFD has 6 career firefighters staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. At all times we have 6 career firefighters working. We are fortunate to have 3 amazing shifts assigned to Laytonsville. These men & women are employed by Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service. Due to our large area and multiple trucks, we have 3 additional career firefighters [day shift] assigned Monday through Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm. Bringing a total of 9 personnel during weekday daytime hours.

In the evening and weekends, LDVFD volunteers come in to staff the trucks along with our career staff. This is why we MUST have volunteers at Laytonsville. Our volunteers have regular daytime jobs or they are in school, unavailable M-F during the day, another reason for our 3 additional career day shift firefighters.

The County Executive's FY27 Operating Budget Proposal sent to the County Council is not about cutting the 3 career day shift positions from Laytonsville, it is about relocating them to staff other units down County.

We hope this clarifies what is happening and why the LDVFD is opposed to losing ANY of the career personnel at Laytonsville.
