Come to our Fire Station and Training Centre to meet the firefighters who protect and serve your community!
We’ll have booths set up where you can get free blood pressure checks, see how Wildland firefighters work, Structure, even an Edith house where children and adults can practice safely evacuating a house if you need to.
Oh, don’t forget the free food! Yes, free food too. Bring your appitite.
We’ll have fun and games, contests, and maybe even some prizes to give out.
It will be a great day. You can learn about the fire district and, if you feel the calling, even learn how to join The Bravest. (Police are known as The Finest. Firefighters are called The Bravest. After all, when cops needed someone to look up to, God created the Firefighter.)
So come see those who protect the community, learn some things, and hear some really good fire stories.
This Saturday, September 15, from 11 AM to 4:30 PM. At the Barstow Fire Station!
