Today the department was pleased to participate in the Riverdale Elementary School Career Day.  Members took Engine 73 to the school and explained the gear and equipment necessary to perform the job of a firefighter.

We were able to answer many questions from the students as well as allowing them to get a firefighters view of what iit is like to ride in a fire engine.  We hope that we have encouraged some of them to pursue that dream that many children have - "I want to be a firefighter when I grow up!"
