It was a busy day for CALS M101 led by Lt. Wahab, Chief 10B LaVigne, and Chief 10 Shannon. With beautiful weather, the number of emergency calls was high throughout the day.

Calls began early, with several requests for mutual aid to St. Mary’s County as they experienced a significant volume of medical emergencies. In addition, multiple incidents occurred in Calvert County.

The CALS units efficiently divided responsibilities, ensuring all advanced life support calls across the county were answered and assistance was provided wherever needed.
