The Hampstead Fire Company along with surrounding companies, citizens, and onlookers gathered Saturday afternoon to pay their respects to a fallen Hero. The Baltimore County Police Department lost one of their own, Jason Schneider, a tactical officer who was tragically killed in the line of duty. The American Flag was united between the ladders of Truck 2 and Tower 12, waving proud as the funeral procession passed underneath. Hundreds upon hundreds of Police Officers, Firefighters, and patriotic Locals joined together to honor such a heroic man as he was laid to rest that afternoon.
