The VA Medical Center, outside Martinsburg, had a flag rope come loose.  Shepherdstown Fire Department to the rescue!  With a lift from Truck 3, firefighters were able to fix the problem.  'And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave.'

Around 11:00am crews were dispatched for a single vehicle collision into a tree on Edgewood School Road off of Ridge Road just outside Shepherdstown. Shepherdstown's Medic 3, Rescue 3 and Engine 3-1 and Independent's Rescue 4 and Medic 4 along with Jefferson County Ambulance Authority's ALS-11 paramedic unit responded.  A 19 year old female was pronounced dead at the scene.  A landing zone was set up at the Shepherdstown Fire Department where a 16 year old male was flown by helicopter to Winchester Medical Center.
