Happy 100th Birthday Leonard Rieck!

 Chris Hash    November 26, 2017    No Comments

The Easton Volunteers recently hosted a 100th Birthday Party for Leonard Rieck, our oldest living member.

Born on November 27, 1917, Leonard was born during the 1st World War, fought in the 2nd World War, his eyes have seen the landing on Normandy and the landing on the Moon and so many more things along the way. Mr. Rieck is an inspiration to all members, young and old, and the Easton Volunteer Fire Department wanted to celebrate his Century Mark in a fitting way.

A party was held on Saturday, November 18, 2017 celebrating his 100th birthday, with more that 100 in attendance, including representatives from the Maryland Senate and House of Delegates, Comptrollers Office, Town of Easton, Easton Police, Maryland State Firemen’s Association, Eastern Shore Firemen’s Association and the Talbot County Fire & Rescue Association. Leonard was presented with numerous citations and awards marking his lifetime of achievements. But one problem still remained.

How do you give a man something, when he has everything he has ever wanted? You give him something that will last an eternity. The Easton Volunteer Fire Department Board of Trustees approached the Town of Easton about renaming Aurora Park Drive, the street where the Easton Volunteer Fire Department has been located since 1962 (Leonard was on the Building Committee), in honor of Mr. Rieck. It is with great thanks to the Town of Easton Mayor Robert Willey and all of the Council Members that the Easton Volunteer Fire Department address will be forever known as 315 LEONARD RIECK DRIVE.

Happy 100th Birthday Leonard!!!! WE Love You!!!

Fire hydrants are ugly. We understand. Most of us would even agree. But it is crucial to keep hydrants clear and unobstructed. The Easton Volunteers recently responded to a reported house fire and when looking for the hydrant this is what we found.

Please maintain the area around fire hydrants. Please do not plant bushes or other plants around them. If and when our area gets snow consider shoveling out around the hydrant.

When we arrive to a fire every second counts. Please do your part to help us keep Easton safe.

Text-to-911 Service is Now available in Talbot County. Please share widely ... Text-to-911 Service is Now Available in Talbot County and across Maryland

Talbot County, Md. (August 20, 2020)—Effective today, 911 call centers across Maryland will begin accepting text messages via text-to-911 service.

Customers of the three major wireless carriers (AT&T, former Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon) who are enrolled in their carriers’ text messaging and/or data plan can send text messages to 911 in an emergency when they are unable to place a phone call. This includes those who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, or speech impaired, those who may find themselves in a situation where placing a voice call could put them in danger, or those who are experiencing a medical emergency and are unable to speak.

“We are thrilled to officially launch text-to-911 service here in Talbot County and across Maryland,” said Clay Stamp, Emergency Services Director,” While a phone call is still the preferred way to contact 911, the ability to send a text message to 911 gives residents and visitors, particularly those who may have difficulty placing a voice call, better access to emergency services.”

If you are in need of emergency services and unable to place a phone call, you can enter 911 in the “To” line of a new text message and begin your message with the location of the emergency and the type of help needed—police, fire, or emergency medical services. Once the message has been received at the 911 call center, a 911 specialist will respond. You should be prepared to answer questions and follow instructions.
