Yesterday the department had a barbeque in the hopes of recruiting some new members to the fire department. Although only a handful of new people came by for a hot dog or burger, it was loads of fun. I guess looking back the reason it was fun was because no one complained about the department or SOPs or gear that's not new. The guys put up the ladder and demonstrated with some of our junior program members the proper techniques for climbing the ladder. There is something to be said for kids seeing other kids doing things - sort of gives them entitlement and empowerment.

I am on the committee and also run the department's social media campaigns so I shot some photos that I posted in facebook and wanted to share with you guys.
