🔥🚒 Fire Prevention Month Continues! 🚒🔥

As Fire Prevention Month continues, our crews were invited to visit the CCIU to spend some time with students and talk about fire safety and prevention.

Crews had the opportunity to show off the fire apparatus and equipment, introduce students to firefighters in their gear, and discuss important fire safety topics.

We appreciate the CCIU for inviting us and giving our crews another opportunity to connect with members of our community while sharing important fire prevention and life safety messages! 🔥🚒
