Independence Day in our Beautiful City

On Sunday, July 5, 2026, the members and their families came together to support the Independence Day Celebration in our beautiful City. We had 4 attended units as well as all of our utility vehicles manned. Support was provided by Abingdon Fire Company personnel and a Harford County DES-staffed UTV for the day to handle the thousands of citizens and visitors to the City. The day began on Saturday at 8:00 am with washing and stocking the units, followed by a Sunday lunch briefing, then the parade. Unfortunately, due to an impending storm, the fireworks were cancelled. A big Thank You to everyone who worked so hard to pull this off--from providing emergency care, to handing out 250 pounds of candy in the parade, to giving out over 1,500 bottles of cold water at the end of the parade. A special thank you to those who worked behind the scenes, as well as those who helped at the misting tent and first aid station--this couldn't happen without your help as well. A huge thank you to all those who made the day a success and to the amazing talent of Pat Venturino Photography for capturing this great day!
