Bring the kiddos out to the firehouse as Santa will be arriving on a firetruck around 10 am to see them, and the elves are bringing cookies!

Tonight members did apparatus equipment familiarization for training.  Lead by Chief 123 members were asked to locate equipment and explain the use and how it operates.  Very good training for new firefighters and great review for some “Seasoned” firefighters.
