Once you click on the link for the fund at the Community
Foundation, http://www.carrollcommunityfoundation.org/funds.asp?fund_id=313,
look for a donate button just under the Community Foundation logo…

On Monday, May 23, 2016, a link was set up on the
Foundation's web site: www.carrollcommunityfoundation.org
for electronic financial donations. Find that link here: http://www.carrollcommunityfoundation.org/funds.asp?fund_id=313

Last Saturday afternoon, May 21, 2016 - A fund was established
at the Community Foundation to assist the Hynes Family. See: http://www.westminstervfd.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/20160521-K-Hynes-Fund.pdf

The Westminster Volunteer Fire Dept. is collecting money to
help a member of the fire department and her family get back on their feet
after a fire destroyed their home Friday night, May 20, 2016

The Westminster Volunteer Fire Dept. has partnered with the
Community Foundation of Carroll County to help raise funds for the Hynes
family. All donations to the Hynes Family Firefighter Fund at the Community
Foundation of Carroll County are tax deductible.

If you would rather write a check, donations may be sent to
Community Foundation of Carroll County
% Hynes Family
255 Clifton Boulevard
Westminster Md. 21157

Be sure to note on your check that the donation is for the
Hynes family

For more information, call the Community Foundation of
Carroll County at 410-876-5505 or contact the Westminster Fire Dept. at
410-848-1800 Ext. 381 and leave a message if necessary.

The Mission of the Community Foundation of Carroll County is
to maintain and enhance the quality of life in the community of Carroll County
through philanthropic means. The Foundation will receive, invest, and
distribute funds for charitable, cultural, and educational purposes for the
benefit of the citizens of Carroll County.

Further evaluation is needed to determine precisely the
Hynes family needs at the moment. Friends, neighbors, the first responder and
firefighter community, and the American Red Cross has been very helpful with
many of their immediate needs.

Financial donations for the Hynes family are not being
accepted at the Westminster Fire Dept. Our partner, the Community Foundation of
Carroll County is handling that for the department - to free-up the department
to continue to respond to approximately 6,000 fire and EMS calls a year. .

Please do not drop off any donations at the Westminster Fire
Dept. as the department is unable to store or manage any food, furniture,
clothing, or housewares. The Hynes family is being helped with donations of food,
furniture, clothing, or housewares by other partners in the community.

Westminster Volunteer Fire Department, visit our website at http://www.westminstervfd.org/ or
make a check payable to the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. #1 and mail it
to: 28 John Street, Westminster, MD 21157

On Friday evening, May 20, 2016 the home of the family of Hugh
and Carla Hynes was destroyed by a tragic accidental fire due to a mechanical
failure of their neighbor’s air conditioning unit.

According to the Maryland State Fire Marshall’s office, “Investigators
determined a mechanical failure lead to the A/C unit exploding, causing the
fire. Both the owner and the neighbor attempted to extinguish the fire with a
garden hose to no avail. The fire spread rapidly upwards into the roof of the
home causing extensive damage to the home and both adjoining units.” 

Over 80 firefighters from Carroll and Baltimore Co, and the
Westminster Police Dept. responded with 20 pieces of equipment to a two–alarm
fire in the 200 block of Gallatin Court, north of Westminster off Cranberry Rd.
The first call came into the county emergency communications center at 9:39. A
second alarm was quickly sounded at 9:55.

Several family pets were saved by quick action by the
firefighters on the scene of a two – alarm fire late Friday night in
Westminster. The cats and dogs were attended to by emergency medical personnel,
including vet tech Tanya Andrews who assisted Manchester EMS personnel to
provide emergency oxygen to save the life of a family pet cat stricken by smoke
inhalation late Friday night

Three families were displaced and two townhouses were
destroyed in the blaze, but the fire did not spread farther thanks to the
prompt and well-coordinated response by firefighters. Fire was declared under
control at 1024 pm, but wrap-up and clean-up operations lasted until
approximately 3 am, Sat. morning

release contact the Westminster Fire Dept. at 410-848-1800 Ext. 381 and leave a

Opening words by Don West

Song by Dean Camlin

Song by Eddie Brooks – I’ll
fly away.

"I'll Fly Away"

Some bright morning when this
life is over
I'll fly away
To that home on Gods
celestial shore
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and
by
I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life
have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison
walls I'll fly
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and
by
I'll fly away

Oh how glad and happy when we
meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on
my feet
I'll fly away

I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and
by
I'll fly away

I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and
by
I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days
and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will
never end
I'll fly away

I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and
by
I'll fly away
I'll fly away

The Westminster Fire Co
extends its sympathy to the family of Jeannie Vogel of JeannieBird Baking Co
who died in today’s traffic accident.

Prayer by Westminster Fire
Dept. Chaplain

Ms. Vogel was a lovely person
who steadfastly supported the Westminster community and the Westminster Fire
Department. We lift Jeannie and her family, co-workers, and friends into our
hearts and pray for comfort and healing at this terrible time. She will be
greatly missed.

On behalf of the men and
woman of the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department

The Westminster Fire Engine
and Hose Company No.1 extends its sympathy to the family and loved ones of
Jeannie Vogel of the JeannieBird Baking Co., our neighbor on Main St in
Westminster, who died in yesterday’s traffic accident.

O god of grace and glory, we
remember before you today our sister Jeannie Vogel

We thank you for giving her
to us to know and to love as a companion in our pilgrimage on earth and our
service to our community. 

Our thoughts and prayers are
with the family at this very difficult time. 

Those we love don't go away.
They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved,
still missed and very dear.

May memories of happy times
sustain us, the support of family and friends comfort us, and may God's love
embrace you and your family and bring you peace.

In your boundless compassion,
console us who still mourn. 

Give us faith to see that
death has been swallowed up in the victory of our Lord, so that we may live in
confidence and hope until, by your call, we are gathered to our heavenly home
in the company of all your saints.

+++++++++

We also say a prayer for the
firefighters, EMS personnel, state highway workers, and police officers who
left their homes in the middle of night to respond to this terrible accident.
They fought the fire, freezing temperatures, ice, and multiple dangers of the
accident this morning at Rte. 27 and Kate Wagner Road.

God of earth and air, water
and fire, height and depth, we pray for those who work in danger,

Who rush in to bring hope and
help and comfort when others flee to safety,

Whose mission is to seek and save,
serve and protect, and whose presence embodies the protection of the Good
Shepherd.

Give them caution and concern
for one another, so that in safety they may do what must be done, under your
watchful eye.

Support them in their courage
and dedication that they may continue to save lives, ease pain, and mend the
torn fabric of lives and social order. Amen.



The #Westminster Fire Co extends its sympathy to the family
of Jeannie Vogel of JeannieBird Baking Co who died in today’s traffic accident.

1931 Maryland State Firemen’s Association Convention

By Kevin Dayhoff July 15, 2012 Westminster Patch


A lengthy July 17, 1931 newspaper article describes the Westminster Municipal Band and the Westminster Fire Department arriving home from participating in the Maryland State Firemen’s Association annual convention earlier that July “in a jubilant mood, as the band brought home $100 for the best band in line of parade…”

The history page from the Frostburg Maryland Fire Department reports that it was one of nine member fire companies that organized the first Maryland State Firemen's Association convention in Frederick in June 1893. 

In 1899 the convention was held in Westminster. A June 8, 1899 Baltimore Sun article, “Have A Hot Time In Westminster And Make Brave Show MANY DROP OUT OF RANKS Twenty-Six Companies And Forty Organizations In The Line Of The Great Parade” observed:

“…From 10,000 to 12,000 people were in Westminster for the opening of the seventh annual convention of the Maryland State Firemen's Association. From midnight until noon today trainloads of people arrived. By everyone it is conceded to have been the greatest day in the history of Westminster...” … http://westminster.patch.com/blog_posts/1931-maryland-state-firemens-association-convention

The 1931 newspaper article described the trip to Ocean City in the days long before the Chesapeake Bay Bridge was built. “The firemen and band left Wednesday morning at 6:35 and arrived at Ocean City at 12:15 p.m. in a Blue Ridge line bus. They traveled by Green Spring Valley to Towson to Havre de Grace, Elkton, Dover to Ocean City, about 190 miles…

“Thursday passed off in sight-seeing with a pajama parade by the Westminster Band at 11 o'clock at night which was followed by several hundred people cheering as they passed down the board walk…” The band also gave concerts on the boardwalk and at the Del-Mar-Va Hotel and Hastings Hotel. 

One of the biggest attractions at the end of the convention is the grand parade which is described in great detail by the 1931 newspaper account, “On Friday morning at 11 o'clock the firemen's parade was the feature.

The parade was led by Gov. Ritchie, Comptroller William S. Gordy, and Mayor William W. McCabe. Twelve hundred firemen, representing 83 Maryland and Delaware fire units, paraded.” The parade extended over 2 miles long that year. 

According to the newspaper article, “Members of Westminster Fire Department taking part in the convention were Frank T. Shaeffer, Michael E. Walsh, Edw. O. Diffendal, Francis N. Keefer, J. Floyd Diffendal, Frank B. Dillard, James Pearre Wantz, Jr., Ralph Royer, Edward B. Orendorff, Wilbur Weller, J. H. Ryland and Claude Buckingham.”

“The $100 purse was a princely sum in 1931,” says local historian Jay Graybeal. “In this early year of the Depression, a pound of coffee cost 20 cents; a pound of peanut butter, 21 cents; and two cans of tomatoes were 15 cents.”
