Next Meeting

ERASE's Next meeting will be on September 2nd from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. @ the Rec. Center.

In light of last night's information The Spook believes there should be a judicial inquiry into the Mayor's, Police Chief and Fire Chief's handling of the alleged D.U.I. stop. Furthermore, an inquiry into Chief Rubin's damaged Fire Department Vehicle is clearly called for.

The DCFEMS Chief has an obligation tothe entire department to set a good example. WWhe he/she fails to that and uses their position to avoid being held accountable for their actions it becomes a matter of poor ethics and an embarrassment, not ot mention a violation of the public trust. Now, if the Captain, who you have so clearly identified, had used his rank to get out of his situation then there might be some valid comparison. However, he apparently is under legal scrutiny, unlike the Fire Chief, if he did, in fact, get pulled over for a DUI offense. Furthermore, if he sought and found favor by using his position to encourage the Police Chief and the Mayor to allow him to avoid being held accountable, then they are all tainted by his misdeed. How do you think that the voters will react to this? I'm sure that's what the mayor is probably thinking right now.

Hey ERASE - GOOD call on these guys !!!!!!!!!!!

Two DC Firefighters have been named ‘Firefighter of the Year’ by the Capitol Hill Exchange Club. For extraordinary valor, the firefighters were officially recognized during a breakfast meeting this morning.



Sgt. Daniel McCoy was honored for his actions in an apartment fire on June 6, 2007, where two children were rescued. McCoy entered a smoke-filled apartment in the 2400 block of Alabama Ave., SE, where an active fire threatened the lives of two young boys. McCoy was able to battle past fire in the kitchen area to a back bedroom, where the boys lay sleeping. He brought both children out of the building to the waiting treatment of EMS and subsequent transport to the hospital, where they made a full recovery.



Lt. Richard Lehan, working as the officer on Truck 17, entered a home in the 5000 block D Street, NE on February 13th of last year. He quickly located an adult female and removed her from the smoke-filled apartment. He then re-entered the building and located a child, whom he quickly removed to safety.



“There are four members of our community who are alive today because of the actions of Lt. Lehan and Sgt. McCoy,” said Fire & EMS Chief Dennis L. Rubin, who assisted in the presentations of awards of commemorative plaques and $200 for each firefighter recognized.



The Capitol Hill Exchange Club honors firefighters every year for exceptional work on behalf of the citizens and visitors of the nation’s capital
