🍦🚒 We're Excited to Be Part of the 67th Annual Ice Cream Social! 🚒🍦
Hillcrest Fire Company is proud to once again participate in this wonderful community event at The Children's Home! We'll be bringing three of our fire apparatus along with several of our members, and we can't wait to meet everyone.
This event is about so much more than showing off big red trucks. It's an opportunity for children and families to meet the firefighters behind the gear, ask questions, explore our equipment, and learn what we do to help protect our community every day.
One of the most important lessons we hope to share is that firefighters are your friends. When we respond to a fire, we wear bulky protective gear, helmets, air packs, and face masks that can look scary—especially to young children. But behind all of that equipment is just a regular person whose only job is to help. We want every child to know that they should never hide from a firefighter during an emergency. If you see us in your home during a fire, we're there to find you, keep you safe, and get you out.
By meeting firefighters in a fun, relaxed setting, climbing aboard the trucks, trying on gear, and asking questions, we hope to make those uniforms a little less intimidating and build trust long before an emergency ever happens.
So stop by, say hello, check out the trucks, meet our members, and learn a little about fire safety along the way.
And of course... don't forget the ice cream! 🍦 We hope to see you there for a great evening of community, smiles, and sweet treats! ❤️🚒
