The Berlin Fire Company will install a portable synthetic ice rink inside its facility for use for the entire month of March, the organization said during a quarterly report to the Berlin mayor and Town Council last Monday.
“We are in the process of bringing [the ice rink] to the town of Berlin, and that will be at the Berlin Fire Company’s second floor,” President of Berlin Fire and EMS David Fitzgerald said. “We are going to use it for fundraisers.”
The 32 by 52 feet rink can used for parties, fundraisers and other special events. The Berlin Fire Company will have a $5 charge to use the rink on Thursday through Sunday evenings as well as Saturday afternoons.
“We appreciate any support we have from the community to come up and enjoy that rink in March while it’s still cold out,” Fitzgerald said. “Our hall is heated and uses synthetic ice. You can have a nice evening or afternoon.”

What exactly is synthetic Ice ? Why not just wax the floor and invite people to a sock party.
So the county purchased this but Berlin FD is charging? Who's getting the money out of this?
Its 5$ boo hoo
So typical of the BFC, it’ll give the paid guys something to do
Let’s see how much gets skimmed off the top.
It's owned by the freaking county. Why should the hosebeaters make money off of something taxpayers bought?
Fitzgerald was recently not accepted by council as Deputy Director of Emergency Services in Wicomico County.Keep a eye on this guy!
