Dear BCVFA Members
It's with great sadness we announce the passing of AVFD Member Steven Jagodzinski. (Jag)
Jag became part of our fire department family in August of 2005. He's been a huge asset to the department, an active member year after year overseeing or assisting with both administrative and operational duties. Most notable; Jag was the departments driver training coordinator and assisted our IT committee with his knowledge in computers and programming.
Jag was only 37 years young. He never hesitated to help anyone grow as a member. He was a great friend to many, a brother to all. Jag will truly be missed.
We will provide updates of the funeral arrangements on our website and FB pages.
Respectfully,
John McDowell, Captain, ArbutusVFD

Response to a request from Fire Department Presidents
"Paid or Volunteer, It’s What We Do, I Wish You Really Knew”
Prince George's County Fire Chief Marc S. Bashoor delivered a message to the congregation of the First Baptist Church of Glenarden. His message centered around the tragic events of an early morning house fire where four family members perished; no smoke alarm was found in the house.
His message was well received not only on that Sunday but also by the thousands that have watched the video. Many have asked for the words to the poem that was read, "It's What We Do."
It is what we do - the Poem
