Last night, members of our department conducted a focused training session on our Tower apparatus, specifically working on depth perception and spatial awareness from the turntable. This type of training is critical for developing the ability to judge distances from an elevated platform—a skill essential for safe and effective aerial operations during real emergencies.
On Tuesday, April 1, 2025, at 10:30 am, Chief 6 - John “Otis” Darling marked up on Kent County Fire “Channel 1”, requesting Kent Central dispatch the Chestertown VFC for the trash truck on fire to the rear of our station. (While we do keep a trash dumpster behind our station, the truck in question was “not” servicing it. It had been traveling on Maple Avenue.

On Tuesday, March 11, 2025 at 3:58 pm, the Chestertown Volunteer Fire Company, along with multiple Mutual Aid Fire Companies, was dispatched to the 8900 block of Orchard Drive (Orchard Hill Community) for the “Outside Fire with Exposure” (An exposure means a fire is potentially threatening other, as yet uninvolved, structures.) The 9-1-1 caller was reporting a large area of grass burning. It’s believed the source of the fire was sparks from a back yard fire pit, being used to dispose of household cardboard.
