Chillum Fire, EMS Station 844 Wins Year's Supply of Toilet Paper

A Prince George’s County Fire/Emergency Medical Services Departmentstation has been awarded a year’s supply of Charmin toilet paper as the winner of Charmin’s “Butts That Save Our Butts” campaign for the second consecutive year, according to a news release.

The Chillum Fire/EMS Station 844 will keep with the tradition set last year and split the prize with the 2014 winner, Chillum-Adelphi Fire/EMS Station 834.

Chillum Fire/EMS Station 844 was selected as a winner after being nominated by a Chillum resident.

In her nomination the resident said:

“I have a neighbor who has been ailing with cancer for the past six years. These firefighters in this firehouse have been to my neighbor’s house all the time to assist him no matter what time or under which kind of weather they always here in time. I also live in a flood zone area and whenever there is danger or flood warning or any kind threat they would arrive to assist with a smile on their face that gives me courage even if I was afraid. I do salute them for many things they do like going door-to-door to check fire alarms if in order, looking for elderly who are lost due to confusion, to house fires. They have been there for us.”

Firefighter and Medic Captain Danon P. Ushinski works at Station 844 and said, “While the prize is rewarding and will be put to good use by everyone that works here, I believe our biggest reward was the kind words included in the nomination written by a citizen.”
