Comments : A quick inventory of the expression on my face and the level of power I am in control of is a reminder of how my thoughts affect me emotionally and physically. A family of loving, supportive people is more than a number of kind individuals. Da Oaks makes up an extended family which blesses all who are a part of it. Remember these words. Do not take them lightly.

Comments : I owe my life to the Chapel Oaks Fire Dept. Our house caught fire in March 1953. I was asleep and woke up in the arms of a firefighter who passed me through a window to safety. We live on L Street behind the old FH elementary school. I will always be grateful for the people who volunteered their time to the Chapel Oaks Dept. Otherwise, I would not be here if I had had to wait for the Cheverly Dept. to respond.

Comments : It is with great sadness that I am writing to inform the Chapel Oaks VFD of the passing of former member William Kenneth Cooper on August 27, 2007.Bill was an EMS Captain back in the 1970s. Bill had many, many fond memories of the times he spent at the fire house. At the celebration of his life, I had his fire department mementos displayed. Many friends never knew of his fire/ems service in Prince Georges County.As life goes full circle, I earned my EMT-B in June 2005 and work at MIEMSS. I am very proud to say I am a part of the great Fire/EMS System of Maryland as I know Bill was proud to be a part of Chapel Oaks.Be safe ! Everyone Goes Home !!!!
