Career and volunteer firefighters and paramedics assisted the Mechanicsville Elementary School PTA with their pre-Halloween "Trunk or Treat." Engine 134, Medic 139 and Utility 13 represented Gamber & Community Fire Co. during the Saturday afternoon event held on October 26, 2024, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
Firefighters passed out Halloween candy to the children and encouraged them to climb on the engine to see where the firefighters sit when responding to a fire or accident. The EMS crew also showed off the ambulance and some of its gear and equipment.
Mechanicsville Elementary School students and their families participated in games and activities, and they visited lots of cars whose owners were handing out treats. There were also food trucks and other food options on the school’s parking lot, front driveway, and back field.
Participation in this event was coordinated by Gamber Lt. Will Reardon. Volunteer members of the fire company as well as the C shift DFEMS crew participated. |
