| British Petroleum Donates $5,000 |
13th July 2010
The Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company is fortunate to receive a number of donations every year. Some come from companies and other organizations within Harford County; while many more come from private citizens that wish to show their appreciation for our services. One company that has been donating to the BAVFC since 2002 is BP (British Petroleum). The BP Foundation recognized employee volunteer efforts within their respective communities by donating $10 per volunteer hour to the employee's organization. Since joining the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company in 2002, Lt. Eric Larson has kept track of the hours he has volunteered with the BAVFC and submitted them to the BP Foundation. On June 17th, the BAVFC received a check for $4960 for Eric’s volunteer efforts over the last year. Since 2002, BP has donated over $26,400 to the BAVFC.
The next time you have a moment at work ask your HR department if your company has a program like BP’s. You might just be surprised to realize that every hour you volunteer might mean a charitable donation to the BAVFC.

| Baskin Robbin's 31 Cent Night |
4th May 2010
The 4th Annual National 31 Cent Scoop Night at Baskin Robbins was another great success for all involved. This annual event raises funds for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (http://www.firehero.org/). The Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation will make a $100,000 donation to NFFF to mark the event and reinforce its commitment to the firefighting community. Over 500 patrons visited the store on Bel Air South Parkway in Bel Air on April 28th.
Each scoop of icecream was just 31 cents and with 31 flavors it was hard to make a decsion on what to get. The staff graciously welcomed both the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company and the Abingdon Volunteer Fire Company and allowed them to greeted guests and discussed the rewards of volunteering in their own community.

| Good Deeds in Snowstorm |
28th December 2009
A copy of this letter was recently received by the BAVFC. The company is proud to thank FF/EMT Alex Wibirt, Paramedic Matt Hipley, FF/EMT Matt Cochran, FF Cadet Corry Shaffer, and FF/EMT Scott McNutt.
Chief,
I wish to commend five anonymous firemen/EMTs who noticed my vehicle stuck in a poorly plowed area on Hickory Avenue right in front of the fire house and, without being summoned, came to the aid of my wife and me. They threw their backs into trying to free our vehicle; when the initial effort failed, they retrieved a shovel from the house and cleared away enough snow that, with six of us pushing and my wife driving, our vehicle was freed. All in a day's work for the gentlemen, I'm sure, to the point that neither my wife nor I got any of their names. But I'm sure you can figure out who was on duty on Sunday, December 20, around 1:15-1:30 p.m., determine who our rescuers were and commend them accordingly.
Our thanks to those kind souls who saw someone in need of assistance and provided it without prompting or hesitation.
Thank you,
Kevin McNamara
Darlington
[PS: A copy of this is being furnished to The Aegis in hopes they will publish it, so that their readership may know how dedicated and unselfish are those who serve with the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company.]
