Rescue Squad 15 has come a long way since its purchase just over one year ago. The unit has been repainted, re-lettered, had new LED lights installed all around, had a new cascade system installed, Amkus system installed, and gone through months of tool mounting by our members. The unit was dedicated to Captain Matthew Thews and Lieutenant Clifford "Brady" Thews at our annual awards banquet. It was dedicated for their outstanding effort and commitment to the Rescue Squad 15 project. A plaque on the rear of the unit will bear this inscription. The New Market volunteers are excited to see their very first rescue squad be placed in service and we want to remind the citizens that it is you who made this possible. We also would like to thank the following companies for their donations which made the project possible:
Linthicum-Ferndale Truck Body Joe's Upholstery Commercial Building Contractors
