In March of 2010, several of the Region 13 Task Force leaders attended a Special Operations Symposium at the FDNY Training Academy on Randall's Island, NY (aka 'The Rock').  Among the 300+ attendees from areas ranging from Panama to Germany, were 3 Line Officers from the Baden Volunteer Fire Department.  Chief David Trzcianka, Asst Chief Patrick McFarland, and Lt Matthew Loftus, were priviledged to attend this symposium to gain an in depth knowledge base from the most experienced and recognized chief officers of the FDNY. 

Baden Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched for 3 calls on Wednesday, March 24th, 2010.  The first of which was a residential fire alarm activation on North Ave.  Engine 47-1 departed with a full crew to arrive on scene with 'nothing showing'.  After an investigation, it was determined that the source of the smoke was a faulty pellet burner.

En route back to Station 47, dispatch advised of flooding at the Baden Water Authority.

Shortly after returning to service, there was a hit and run accident with entrapment and injuries at 65 and Virginia.  Rescue 47 arrived on scene, followed closely by Engine 47-1.  Rescue crews cut open the driver side door and extricated the patient within 5 minutes of arriving.  Economy Ambulance assisted with the extrication and took the patient to a nearby hospital.
