FIRE PREVENTION MONTH REVISITED

LAST MONTH WAS FIRE PROTECTION MONTH AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CALENDAR WAS FILLED WITH VISITS FROM AND TO MANY SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS. IT'S A TIME OF YEAR WE LOOK FORWARD TO AS WE CAN SHOWCASE OUR PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT. WE ARE ALSO VERY GLAD WHEN THE MONTH IS OVER AND OUR ROUTINE RETURNS TO NORMAL.

ONE OF THE SPECIAL ACTIVITIES PLANNED THIS YEAR WAS AN EVENING FOR FAMILIES AND ADULTS ON OCTOBER 20TH. IT WAS A TIME WHEN DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL WOULD SHARE SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR HOME FIRE SAFETY. IT WAS ALSO A TIME FOR THE COMMUNITY TO MEET THE PAID FIRE STAFF AND MANY OF THE VOLUNTEERS.

SADLY NO ONE ATTENDED. PERHAPS IT WAS NOT ADVERTISED IN THE MEDIA ENOUGH OF FOLKS WERE JUST TOO BUSY. WHILE THE DEPARTMENT WAS DISAPPOINTED IN THE TURN OUT, WE NONE THE LESS WILL, AT ANY TIME, BE GLAD TO SPEAK WITH FAMILIES OR GROUPS ON FIRE SAFETY. JUST CALL THE STATION AT 305-472-2868 AND SPEAK WITH THE FIRE FIGHTER ON DUTY TO SCHEDULE A TIME TO VISIT.
