Family Fun and Safety Day

Although we did not have as many children attend as we would have liked, the Family Fun and Safety Day was a great success! The representatives from First Rescuer's Dojo put on a great performance for us. They taught our children how to defend themselves against strangers and bullies.

The Lake Shore VFD transported the county's Fire Safety House to our event, teaching the children about fire hazards and how to protect themselves in the event of an emergency.

The fire department also responded with Pumper Tanker 202, showing those in attendance how and why they draft water from the river to put out fires. The children had a blast when the fire department created a huge "water sprinkler" for the children to get relief from the heat. Thanks to those citizens who volunteered their time and donated goodies for the sundaes. We would like to thank Dojo Rescuers and the Lake Shore Vol. Fire Department for everything. Thank you, Christine Von Valkenburg for your hard work in coordinating the event. You never seem to let us down!
