4th of July Patriots Tour. The Kingsville Volunteer Fire Company and Patriots in our area, are planning a motorized tour of the community on the 4th of July at 11:00 a.m. We plan to drive the traditional route, and then continue on a much longer drive around the community to allow observers to spread out and maintain Social Distancing. We are also planning to live stream the tour on our Facebook page, to allow folks to stay safely at home. Please email us at parade@kvfc.com if you would like to join us on the tour. More details will become available as the Covid 19 restrictions ease. Everyone has been through a lot this year. A celebration of the Red White and Blue has rarely been needed more than this year.

Today we ask that you please take a moment to remember our friend Mark Falkenhan who sadly passed away on this day in 2011 while searching for trapped occupants on an apartment fire in Parkville. We also ask that you keep in mind Mark’s Family. Mark was a close friend to many and responsible for the training of thousands of firefighters across the country. Mark also served as a Firefighter with the Baltimore County Fire Department and The US Secret Service.
