Today members of the East Great Plain Volunteer Fire Department had the privilege of attending the Thomas W Mahan School field day with our tanker truck to help keep the kids cool on a really warm day.

With everything that can feel heavy in the world, today was a reminder of the simple things that bring people together. There’s something truly magical about the laughter of children running through the spray of the water from a fire truck. For a few moments worries disappear, shoes get soaked, and smiles just take over!

Thank you to Thomas W Mahan school staff for inviting us to be part of such a fun day. We were honored to help make some memories and cool off a lot of happy kids.
