🎉🚒 Event Recap 🚒🎉

On May 30th, we had the privilege to attend the 2026 Families and Freightliners Fest hosted by HTI!

One of the highlights of the day was seeing the excitement on the kids’ faces as they tried on fire hats 🧑‍🚒, climbed aboard the fire truck 🚒 , explored firefighting gear 🧯, and picked up a special goodie bag. Their enthusiasm made the event truly memorable!

We always appreciate the chance to connect with our community, share important fire safety information, and talk about the vital role volunteers play in helping us serve and protect. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit—we loved being part of such a fantastic event!❤️
