The firefighters on hand were providing those who came out with fire safety booklets for young and old; there were free smoke alarm replacement batteries available; free hot chocolate from Tim\u2019s Enfield; a carbon monoxide and smoke alarm giveaway; plus, Sparky the fire dog was there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendees also had the opportunity to go up in the Aerial ladder truck from Enfield fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the kids, they got to see Sparky and got in the fire trucks\u2014and some of them were allowed to sound the trucks horns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also gave people the opportunity to speak with your local volunteer firefighters who are the ones that help them out when the pager sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two departments plan to hold another similar event later in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
