October is Fire Prevention Month

Thursday, September 25, 2008
By Robin Bobay

To all Northeast Personal:

 

I have finished the scheduling of schools and preschools for fire prevention in the month of October. To make this a successful fire prevention month I would appreciate as much help as possible. I am hoping that the paid crew will be able to help out to all the scheduled events, with the exception of runs, and a pump will be needed for the kids to tour. If you are uncomfortable with speaking to the kids there are many other ways to help out such as: driving the trucks to the locations, donning fire gear and air pack for demonstrations, and helping to show off the trucks.

I have posted the schedule at all three stations, if you have any questions please give me a call. I hope to see many of you next month.
