The department was busy with multiple things at the school this week!
Thursday Chief Wright and some of the firefighters spoke to the elementary students during fire week and also got to show the students a couple of our fire trucks. The students had a blast being able to blow the fire horn.

Friday some of the Fire Department participated in the parade for homecoming week. The theme was Danger Zone. Our department was very excited to participate and pass out candy.

Thank you to everyone for letting us be part of all of these festivities
