🚌 The big yellow buses are back on the roads! 🚌
As kids head back to school, remember they are most at risk when approaching or leaving the school bus.
🚗 Slow down when you see a school bus.
🛑 Stop when the bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended.
👀 Watch carefully for children crossing the road.

All the fire departments in the county need help. We’ve heard all the excuses. I can’t commit to (fill in the blank), I’m not always available, I’m too young/old, I don’t know anything about it. They are just excuses. We are all volunteers. We can when we can and we can’t when we can’t.

This is an incredible job you get paid for in ways that aren’t money. If you’ve ever thought about it, contact the VFD in your area. The hardest part, is walking through that station door the first time.

We all live in the communities we serve. How can you make a difference?

Every fire department across the country needs help.
