Three Exciting Events Happening At Dedicated Fire Departments

Remember, this time of year, it is important to review the fire safety plan you have at your house. Get the family together and have a conversation about what to do in case of a fire. It is also a great time of year to stop into your local fire department and see what information they have to help you prepare.

While you are at the firehouse, be sure to ask about volunteer opportunities and events that might be coming up that will help benefit your local fire department. I want to take a minute to thank all the firehouses reaching out with events coming up at area fire departments. Keep the info coming, and I will keep sharing it every week.
