Last night, E109 responded to a kitten trapped in the front of a vehicle. Upon arrival, crews could hear the kitten meowing from inside the front bumper. E109 carefully removed the bumper cover and rescued the 🐱 kitten. She is doing well and was turned over to AWLArlington, VA

🏀 Huge thanks to everyone who made the Arlington County First Responder Co-Ed Basketball Camp a success last week at Swanson MS! This incredible week-long camp brought together youth from across the county to build confidence, teamwork, and leadership—on and off the court.
