Yakima Fire's first annual Firefighter Fair a success!
|
On May 14th, 2011, Local 469 sponsored Yakima Fire’s first annual Firefighter Fair. This free event drew about five hundred guests and raised four hundred dollars for the Children’s Wishes and Dreams of Yakima.
The purpose of the fair was to educate the public on what services their fire department has to offer, demonstrate the talents of our members as well as the capabilities of our equipment, and promote fire safety in our community.
Thirty five off duty members, eight reserves, and three cadets worked tirelessly to make this event a huge success. Along with hotdogs, Sparky the firedog and plenty of children’s activities, our members demonstrated their skills in technical rescue, aircraft firefighting, aerial operations and vehicle extrication. There were also plenty of static displays giving the public an opportunity to get “hands on” with many of the tools of our trade.
If you missed it, be sure to mark your calendar for next year.
