CANDIA FIRE RESCUE OPEN
HOUSE
SATURDAY, JULY 25TH, 2009-10am
to 4pm
open to the public
free drinks and refreshments
Candia Fire Rescue will host an open house for residents of Candia and surrounding towns. Visitors will see the department’s apparatus, meet its members and learn about safety materials available to them. Admission is free.
The open house will take place on Saturday, July 25, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Candia Fire Station, 11 Deerfield Road, Candia. Attractions will include door prizes, raffles and other give-aways, a bounce house, face painting, hands-on fire extinguisher demonstrations, an ice cream truck and other refreshments. There will also be appearances by Sparky the Fire Dog, Smokey the Bear, Southern New Hampshire Hazardous Materials Mutual Aid District, New Hampshire 911, New Hampshire Division of Forests and Lands, New Hampshire Fish and Game, Rockingham Regional Ambulance, Red Cross Disaster Services, Candia Fire Explorers and Poison Control.
“I think it’s very important for families and the citizens of Candia and neighboring towns to participate in this event, so they have an understanding of who the fire department is and what we do,” said Candia Fire Chief Rudy Cartier. “It’s free and it’s going to be fun.”
The event is made possible through the AmeriCorps Emergency Response Corps, which provides the town with one full-time firefighter-EMT available during the week. To validate the grant program, the AmeriCorps volunteer is required to organize a community-based service project to promote safety and volunteerism.
For additional information, contact Matt Richter, AmeriCorps volunteer, at
(603) 483-2202.
