Approximately 150 people showed up for some fire department fun, treats, and safety talk at the Millicent Library on Wednesday, 8/24/22.
Members of the Fairhaven Fire Department talked to children and their adults about fire safety, and let some feel the power of the fire hose, aiming it at a stop sign.
The library also provided ice cream sandwiches to help the kids cool off on a hot summer day. Fire hats, pencils and key chains were among the treats offered to children.
