Health Department and Fire Department Host Fire Safety Training!
On June 13th, residents attended the always popular Fire Extinguisher Training class held at the Health Department. Good weather held as residents were able to learn about and actually use a fire extinguisher!
Fire fighters, including Lt. Paul Delaney , Deputy Chief Matthew Corda and Firefighter Mike Quintin, held a brief classroom presentation followed by an exciting hands-on experience outside.
The event drew spectators enjoying the nearby park, and participants all commented on how much fun it was. They also appreciated the opportunity to use the fire extinguisher before actually needing to at home, noting it's much easier than they thought.
