Today’s Content Dump. It was not a slow day by any means. Just so happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time almost all day. Next time I’ll plan for a night run.

✅ Back in the Game! (I still need a chair😂)

Little Bit of a Life Update✨ This past month has been a rollercoaster and series of little to no sleep, headaches, sore body, cuts, bruises, and lots of colorful language. My wife and I closed on our brand new home (built march '26), and have been spending the last few weeks unpacking. Personally, I believe buying a home is more stressful than raising a toddler. I sacrificed a big fenced in yard and garden for a new and much bigger house. Once I have a free day, I plan on picking up my desk, and then @MoCoFireWire will be fully operational again. ...I swear, all the boxes/trash are gone now, and the bed frame is assembled. I'm not sleeping on the ground anymore. (I really need to take some updated photos)

Record highs reached 🔥🥵 It’s the hottest day of the year so far with temperatures right around 90 in much of the area. The highs through 2 p.m. include 89 for DC, 89 at Dulles and 90 for Baltimore. DC has tied a record for the date, while the other locations have established new records. Today is the 10th day with a high of 80 or higher in DC, which is the second most on record behind 11 in 1945. Average to date is about three such days. The official D.C. observation location at National is battling a cooler Potomac River, keeping its temperature somewhat moderated, but if it hits 90 degrees it will be the earliest since April 10, 2013.

Another day..another inattentive driver. Plus the fact they ignored their activated blind spot light 🙄 This is the same roundabout and same exit that left my car with a scratch on it last year. I didn't notice it until washing the car a few days later.

It's National Telecommunications Week💛 To celebrate ECC personnel there is no better time than now to share this video. This video takes a deep dive into MCFRS ECC Operations. Specifically Dispatcher Responsibilities, CAD/Automatic Dispatch, Mutual Aid, and Signal 3. Behind the scenes look into the voice on the other side of the radio. youtube.com/live/I3ghisGGCCY…
