ACFR had a great time at Allendale Elementary School for Career Day. Our firefighters enjoyed interacting with the students, sharing important fire safety knowledge, and giving out prizes and gifts to those who answered questions. It is always a blessing to see our young people engaged, learning, and excited about the future.

We truly appreciate Mrs. Davis and Principal Patterson for inviting us out each year and for their continued dedication to creating meaningful opportunities for the children of our community. We look forward to coming back and continuing to make a positive impact.
