Mcfrs Community Risk Analysis and Standards of Cover
MCFRS COMMUNITY RISK ANALYSIS AND STANDARDS OF COVER Fire Station 20 Battalion 2 Bethesda Station 9041 Old Georgetown Road, Bethesda Description – Ownership: Volunteer – Employees: 3 Shift Work – Apparatus Housed: Engine – Specialty Team: Hazmat – First Due Area: 4.05 mi2 – Volunteers: totaled in with the sister company Fire Station 6 Overview Bethesda, Station 20, is surrounded by important institutions, not only for their medical breakthroughs and clandestine facilities but for the employment opportunities given to the area. The businesses and institutions bring a large number of people into Station 20’s first due area during rush hour but also the two federal hospitals and research facilities bring people from all over the world. Scattered around the different facilities are quiet residential communities that have been settled for the most part since WWII. Because it is a hazmat house, two certified hazmat technicians must comprise at least two of the three-person staffing on the engine. The engine responds to hazmat incidents for additional staffing for the Hazmat Team, and Station 20 personnel certify annually by completing NFPA 472 competencies which is completed as a monthly drill . Station 20 also houses the scheduling office for the operations of Montgomery County Fire Rescue. 218 MCFRS COMMUNITY RISK ANALYSIS AND STANDARDS OF COVER High Risk Areas – Including Hazards Station 20 has METRO tracks through their first due area and it services two METRO stations: Grosvenor and Medical Center – just miles apart. The Grosvenor station serves a heavily-populated residential area and the Medical Center station services two large federal properties: NIH and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. -

182 PLACES FROM THE PAST IV. CENTRAL COUNTY CENTRAL COUNTY 183 IV. CENTRAL COUNTY HISTORIC DISTRICTS MONTGOMERY COUNTY COURTHOUSES HISTORIC DISTRICT (1776+) NR Vicinity of Washington Street and Courthouse Square, City of Rockville Municipality Rockville has been the county seat since Montgomery County was estab- lished in 1776. Citizens selected Rockville for its central location along an established road and for its well-established taverns to accommodate those with court business. Originally known as Montgomery Court House, the town was called Rockville by the early 1800s. Throughout the years much of Rockville’s activity has centered on the Courthouse. The Red Brick Courthouse was built in 1891, for $50,000. It is the third courthouse on the site, replacing the original courthouse of 1779, and another built in 1840. Designed by Baltimore architect Frank E. Davis, the Courthouse is built of hand-pressed brick accented with native Seneca Sandstone. The building was one of the last load-bearing , M-NCPPC, 1975 masonry structures in the county and is the finest example of Romanesque Revival architecture in the county. Most attorneys maintained offices Michael Dwyer around the Courthouse Square. The historic district includes the 100 Red Brick Courthouse (1891) block of South Washington Street, including the Gothic Revival Christ Episcopal Church, designed by Frank Davis and built 1884-7. Frame resi- dences on this block, built between 1884 and 1903, reflect Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles popular in this era. After World War I, increasing county population led to the need for a larger courthouse. The State Legislature approved the acquisition of a Grey Courthouse (1931) block of land, to raze the existing buildings, and construct a new Courthouse. -
Appendix : Historic Preservation Program
Appendix : Historic Preservation Program Objective The intent of the County’s preservation program is to provide a rational system for evaluating, protecting, and enhancing the County’s historic and architectural heritage for the benefit of present and future generations. Historic sites and districts are essential elements of community identity and the unique character of the County and its communities. The Master Plan for Historic Preservation and the Historic Preservation Ordinance, Chapter DA of the Montgomery County Code, are designed to protect and preserve Montgomery County’s historic and architectural heritage. Placement on the Master Plan officially designates a property as a historic site or historic district and subjects it to the procedural requirements of the Ordinance. Any substantial changes to the exterior of a resource or its environmental setting must be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) and a historic area work permit issued under the provisions of the Ordinance, Section BDA-F. In accordance with the Master Plan for Historic Preservation and unless otherwise specified in the amendment, the environmental setting for each site, as defined in Section DA- of the Ordinance, is the entire parcel on which the resource is located as of the date it is designated on the Master Plan. Historic Sites in Gaithersburg West The Gaithersburg West Master Plan includes historic sites that were designated in the IHE Gaithersburg Vicinity Master Plan (Belward Farm, St. Rose of Lima) and the I Germantown Master Plan (Clopper Mill Ruins). Immediately bordering the area are Maple Spring Barns and Pleasant View Church, designated in the @@B Potomac Subregion Plan. -

Hutchinson and Carlos Avery of Sugarloaf Regional Trails in 1979. The rail line has not been altered since the prior,survey. The Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A and C for its association with the transportation industry, as well as the agricultural and residential development of Montgomery County. The development of the railroad provided a needed stimulus to the stagnant economy of Montgomery County in the late nineteenth century. The railroad revived the agricultural economy of Montgomery County by allowing farmers to quickly ship perishable goods to market such as dairy products and produce.
