October 15th, and 16th is our annual fire prevention program for Southern Forrest County, MS. We take our event to the local elementary school of 900 students. We have many events lined up for the children this year to include: 3 Volunteer Fire Departments (Brooklyn, Carnes and McLaurin), AAA Amubulance Service, Rescue 7 Air Ambulance, US Forrestry, Forrest General Hospital, Forrest County Surrey Smoke House,Mississippi State Fire Marshall's Office and over 52 volunteers to include 8 Junior Firefighers. We have raised over $1600 with all the moneys being put toward the program in the form of freebies for the kids. Each child will receive a bag full of hand out materials, a sports bottle with fire safety information on the side, a little red fire hat (Donated by Firehouse Subs in Hattiesburg, MS),etc. Its going to be a great event and I can speak for all of my volunteers when I say we are all truely blessed to be able to do this for the children in our community.
