\n\"BERT\"<\/a> Taking a fall on the CCT or the Canal Path will still be unpleasant, but it looks like help will be faster to arrive. The Glen Echo Fire Department’s new bicycle emergency response squad<\/a>
\nwas introduced to the trail on May 8. <\/p>\n

\n

The Glen Echo department hopes the Bicycle Emergency Response Team, to
\nbe known as BERT, will provide medical support on the Capital Crescent
\nTrail in Bethesda and the C&O Canal towpath. Quickly getting to some
\n areas of the trails can be difficult, and the bikes will give emergency
\n staff members better access, said Jane Callen, a member of the patrol
\nand vice president of the Glen Echo Fire Department’s board of
\ndirectors, the Conduit Road Fire Board. <\/p>\n

\nBike patrol members will monitor the two pathways within an approximate
\nborder of Western Avenue and Bradley Boulevard, said the department’s
\nvolunteer chief, Herbert Leusch. The department plans to send the two
\nbikers on patrol in tandem on the Capital Crescent Trail and the towpath
\n during summer weekends to respond to emergency medical situations.\n<\/p>\n

\n“There is not a weekend that goes by in the summer that a call doesn’t
\ncome in from the Capital Crescent Trail,” Leusch said.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
