Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker and Fire Chief Marc Bashoor joined recruit firefighters and other members of the Fire/EMS Department in a nearly 5 mile run on Friday, August12, 2011.
The members of Career Recruit School (CRS) #44 organized the run and combined their physical training with an opportunity to raise funds for a very worthy cause. A $25 charitable contribution was offered by participants with proceeds to be combined with other fund raising efforts all being donated to the National Fallen Fire Fighters Foundation (NFFF).
Temperatures at the event start time of 8:00 am were in the low 80's accompanied by bright sunshine and a impressive backdrop of the National Harbor. This was the 2nd Firefighters' Memorial Bridge Run in honor of all fallen firefighters. The run includes portions of the park on the Maryland side, across the WWB, portions of the Virginia side and back across the WWB to Maryland.
