Firefighters are always training, and our training always features some element of learning from past incidents. So, while our hearts remain heavy with loss, we are grateful that this incident may help firefighters survive future incidents.

Crews were on scene for an extended period of time monitoring conditions in the area. To support crews with drinks and food on this long duration incident, Canteen 611 was called to the scene around 1pm and remained until about 11pm. Canteen crews provided lunch and dinner service plus late night snacks. The canteen provided 'Charlie Dogs'** fWegmansh, Wegmans (Leesburg) provided sub platters foChick-fil-Ahick-fil-A sent sandwiches and cookies for snacks.

Does your canteen crew aways serve hot food ?
Really nice that Wegman's & Chik-Fil-A were providing the food.
Most are probably aware of this incident and its impact by now, but if not, here you go! Also, because first responders have been out at this incident since before lunch, SVFC Canteen 611 has responded to provide food and drinks to first responders.
