CARROLL\u2019S CORNER:<\/strong> Station 40 Dutch Settlement firefighters held a breakfast on May 3 at the Carroll\u2019s Corner community centre.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The station often ran breakfasts before COVID, but this is their first one since then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They decided to start it again as an opportunity for the community to get together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The community always asked when they would bring them back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lieutenant Matthew Hamer says that it was meaningful to see all the people come out and enjoy the breakfast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Michelle Geldart with the CCCC agreed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something I\u2019ve always done with my family even when I was little and it\u2019s a great way to pull the community together\u201d says Geldart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Geldart does the bookkeeping, and breakfast was her first real project that she\u2019s worked on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said she couldn\u2019t have been happier about the turnout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By approximately 9:30 a.m., roughly 80 people enjoyed their breakfast with the fire department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether that be family, friends, or just people who heard about the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 There was a wonderful assortment of breakfast foods including bacon, eggs, sausage, pancakes, toast and even hot maple syrup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the amazing turnout the fire department plans to have these breakfasts more often and bring the tradition of them back for Station 40. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
