County’s Fire Department One Of Busiest In The Nation

[THE GAZETTE] The Silver Hill and Morningside fire departments were among the busiest stations nationwide in 2009, according to a new survey released in August by Firehouse Magazine, an industry publication.

The Silver Hill station was ranked the 10th busiest in the U.S., and the Morningside station was the 14th busiest when it came to heavy rescue operations, such as pulling drivers out of overturned cars or other rescue operations that require more than the usual amount of equipment, according to the magazine’s 29th annual survey.  Prince George’s County moved up two spots on the list of busiest jurisdictions overall, from 15th place in last year’s survey of 2008 data to 13th place this year.

Mark Brady, spokesman for the Prince George’s County Fire/EMS Department, noted that Prince George’s County was the highest ranked jurisdiction that uses a combination of volunteers and professional emergency responders.
