Westminster Vol. Fire Dept. Treasurer Caroline Babylon leads a number of children in a 'stop, drop, and roll' demonstration

Westminster Vol. Fire Dept. Treasurer Caroline Babylon leads a number of children in a 'stop, drop, and roll' demonstration for the safety and fire prevention program at the Third Annual KIDZPO at Grace Lutheran Church Sat March 25, 2017 21 Carroll St Westminster MD. 

Westminster Police Auxiliary members Ken Carlisle and Larry Myers, and WFD Chaplain Kevin Dayhoff assisted, but did not demonstrate the dropping and rolling portion of the demonstration. Just saying. But I am betting that the WFD Secretary and Fire Prevention Chair Jamie Petry or WFD Fundraising Chair Brenda Roper would have demonstrated the drop and roll well.

First Female Regional Commander Takes Charge of the Upper Eastern Regional Office of the State Fire Marshal

First Female Regional Commander Takes Charge of the Upper Eastern Regional Office of the State Fire Marshal

January 14, 2015

According to the Office of the State Fire Marshal:

The Office of the Maryland State Fire Marshal is pleased to announce the appointment of Caryn L. McMahon, to the position of Deputy Chief State Fire Marshal. She has been assigned to the Upper Eastern Regional Office (UERO) located in Easton, Maryland. The office is responsible for fire investigations, inspections, plans reviews and community outreach for Caroline, Kent, Queen Anne’s and Talbot Counties.

Chief McMahon was raised in Southern Maryland and graduated from Thomas Stone High School in 2003. McMahon remains an active member of Hughesville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad since joining in September 2002, where she has previously held the offices of Sergeant to Assistant EMS Chief. McMahon first came to the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) as a College Intern in the summer of 2006.

While she worked through the summer, she exhibited an enthusiastic interest for the investigative field. McMahon graduated the following semester from Methodist University in North Carolina with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology as Magna Cum Laude. She was later hired by the OSFM as a Special Assistant Deputy Fire Marshal in January 2007 to perform contractual daycare inspections. She worked in that position while she pursued a sworn Deputy Fire Marshal position until she was hired in November 2007.

She graduated from Southern Maryland Criminal Justice Academy in May 2008. She has investigated and assisted with the investigations of hundreds of fires. McMahon's success has led to many arrests and convictions throughout Southern Maryland. McMahon has been nominated for Deputy Fire Marshal of the Year three times regionally, and was recognized as the State Deputy Fire Marshal of the Year in 2011. In 2011, McMahon was also selected for the Exceptional Police Performance Award by the Maryland Chiefs of Police Association.

When not devoting her time to fire investigations, prevention and awareness, McMahon is involved with Hughesville Little League Softball, where she has coached and coordinated with the league for over five years. She is also an active parishioner at St. Mary's Catholic Church of Bryantown, where she grew up in faith. McMahon and her husband, Daniel, have two wonderful children and continue to reside in Southern Maryland.

Chief McMahon brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her new position and will be a valuable asset to the command team and the agency, stated State Fire Marshal Brian S. Geraci. Please join us in congratulating Deputy Chief State Fire Marshal Caryn McMahon on her new position within our agency.

September Is Campus Fire Safety Month

September Is Campus Fire Safety Month

Some simple steps can keep college students safer from on and off campus fires.

PIKESVILLE, MD (September 13, 2013) – The beginning of a new term means classes, homework, friends and parties.  With such hectic lives, students often do not pay attention to one thing that could seriously injure or kill them: Fire.  As a new semester begins on college campuses throughout the state, State Fire Marshal Brian S. Geraci reminds students to take actions to protect themselves and their friends from the devastating effects of fire.  

An estimated 85% of fire deaths occur in off campus apartments and homes, which is where a majority of college students live. This is the primary reason why the State of Maryland has declared September as ‘Campus Fire Safety Month.’  

“Unfortunately, most college students do not fully appreciate how quickly a fire can grow out of control,” said the State Fire Marshal  “Studies have shown you have an average of three minutes from when the first smoke alarm sounds to escape the effects of fire.  Students need to realize they are not invincible, fires do happen in campus related settings and they can take proactive steps to protect themselves no matter where they live.”

Many fatal fires involving college students have one or more of four common elements:. 

(1). Carelessly disposed of smoking materials are a contributing cause of fatal fires in all residences including rental properties where college students live.  Students also fall victim to fires started by unattended open flame devices, such as candles.

(2). Missing or dead batteries are the leading cause for smoke alarms not working properly.

(3). The influence of alcohol, although not condoned by college administrators, is sometimes a factor in college related activities.  Studies show alcohol decreases inhibition and impairs judgment, which can increase a student’s risk of not waking to the sound of a smoke alarm and potentially not surviving the effects of fire. 

(4). Living in properties that lack the protection afforded by an automatic fire sprinkler system.

The State Fire Marshal offers these safety tips for both parents and students when going    off to college:

Check for the proper installation of working smoke alarms.  These devices provide early warning no matter where the fire starts, giving more chance for escape.

Test smoke alarms monthly and replace the batteries as needed.

Look for housing that is equipped with automatic sprinkler systems.  Not every residence hall or rental property has them.

Know at least two ways out of every room and the building.

If smoking is allowed, designate an area outside.  Properly dispose of smoking materials in sturdy ashtrays and ensure they are completely extinguished.  Just in case, always check cushions in chairs and sofas for smoldering cigarettes.

If using extension cords, use only approved laboratory listed cords such as UL®, and don’t overload the electrical outlets.

Consider using flameless candles or battery operated lights instead of regular wax candles.

If using regular candles, never leave them or other open flame type devices unattended and keep combustibles away from their location at all times.  Always extinguish the flame prior to leaving the room.

Cooking should only occur in permitted locations.  Never leave cooking food unattended.

If using a barbeque grill, fire pit, chiminea or other outdoor open flame device, check out the local regulations beforehand.  When these items are used improperly, an enjoyable time can quickly turn into a tragedy.
