On Saturday, August 4 Baltimore's newest fireboat, the John (Jack) R. Frasier was Christened and launched from its berth near Fort McHenry amid a huge number of fire, police and EMT staff from many jurisdictions. Also on hand was Governor O'Malley, Mayor Sheila Dixon and a host of local dignitaries who lauded the arrival of a new "State of the Art" Fireboat that meets the guidelines for National Homeland Security.

I was part of the Fort McHenry Guard procession that led dignitaries to the Fireboat on Saturday. We were fed hotdogs and hamburgers, fruit salad and Danishes, and given bottled ice water and gatorade to drink....the worst part of the day was the temperature. It was 102 degrees Fahrenheit in Baltimore at 2 pm. The best breeze was provided by the Police helicopter that took off from the fort grounds after the ceremony.
