Fire Prevention
Fire Prevention week was observed October 4th - 10th. This years theme was "Serve Up Fire Safety In The Kitchen!" Although we did not get to visit the local school district due to COVID-19, we did visit the local pre-schools and setup a community display Friday evening. Thank you to all that came out and participated and especially MD159 for the use of their parking lot!
