(May 18, 2017) – On Friday, May 12th, approximately 20 staff members from the House and Senate participated in a ride-along with the District of Columbia Fire and EMS Department. Ā This was a unique opportunity for Congressional staff to witness firsthand the daily operations of firehouses in our nationā€™s capital as they accompanied firefighters to actual emergencies and observed their actions.

ā€œWe extend our appreciation to Chief Gregory Dean and the men and women of the DC Fire and EMS Department for sponsoring this important educational opportunity for Congressional staff,ā€ said Bill Webb, Executive Director of the Congressional Fire Services Institute. Ā ā€œThere are few better ways for Congressional staff to learn about the challenges our firefighters face than by spending a night at the firehouse and seeing firsthand what our frontline responders face every day.ā€ Ā 

CFSIā€™s mission is to educate Congress about the needs and challenges of our nationā€™s fire and emergency services. Ā Partnering with local fire departments, like the DC Fire and EMS Department, is a critical component in delivering that message. Ā
