Congradulations the the DCFD burn foundation on it's 5 year anniversary. They held a nice invite only gala on the Oddyssey to thank all of their sponsers and hospital staff of the burn center. The night kicked off with a prayer from the chaplin and music by the DCFD Emerald Society Pipes and Drums. Fun was had by all. Engine 2 and Rescue 1 would like to say thanks and congradulate FF Jason Woods RS-1 #3 who is the president of the foundation. Without him the foundation would not even exist today. Thank you Jason.

A water rescue assignment was dispatched to Rock Creek Parkway and P Street NW shortly before 11 AM on Sunday, January 3rd, for a report of a car in the water. They arrived to find the vehicle almost entirely submerged on its roof in the icy creek.
Firefighters from Rescue Squad 1 entered the frigid water and began breaking up the ice that had formed, so they could access the car. Once they made it to the car they found one victim in the back seat of the vehicle. There was a report of a possible second victim. Due to the fact that the car was overturned on it's roof and they could not dive down into the frozen water one attempt was made to pull the vehicle out of the water with the winch. That was a failed effort and they then called for Wrecker 1. Rescue squad 2 had to respond back to the firehouse to get it. Once on the scene they lifted the car up enough to search the car. No other victims were found.
