🚤🇺🇸 That awkward moment...

You’re ready for the water—boat hooked up, cooler packed, friends hyped—then 🚨 you’re told you don’t have enough flotation devices.

Don’t let that ruin your day!

Thanks to a generous donation from Mike Lutz, the Martinez Lake Fire District has U.S. Coast Guard-approved throwable flotation devices available to borrow for the holiday weekend.

Stop by the Main Station, grab what you need, enjoy your day, and return it after.

Stay safe—and let only your fishing line sink. 🎣😉

🇺🇸 Have a safe and fun Fourth of July!
