Come join the Fire Department as we celebrate with the City in the annual three day event. This year the fire department will be doing many fun family activities, we'll have safety sheets and books. We will be featuring our "home safe home" program with an activity book for families with over 60 activities to make your home a safer place. There will be photo opportunities, an inflatable house for families to learn about home safety, and our C.E.R.T. team members will be there to help Westfesters get their "Ghoul" on by doing moulage for those that are not faint of heart.
One item we especially want to talk about is the West Valley City Firefighters support of Camp Na Na Mah. This is the University of Utah burn center camp for kids ages 7-12 that have been injured by fire. Camp is held in early August and runs for four days. Each year the firefighters rally together to provide meals, activities, and interaction with the kids. "Its one of the most rewarding things I've done" according to Mary Lindsay Vonk, one of our engineer paramedics.
This year, Battalion Chief Jeff Fox has headed up a special fundraiser for camp nah nah mah. Thanks to the efforts of the West Valley City firefighters, police officers, and community. We have around 30 bikes that we will be selling during westfest. These bikes have been cleaned up and serviced and are very reasonably priced. You can purchase one of these bikes during westfest at the fire department display. The money will be donated to camp nah nah mah to help offset costs for this wonderful program. You of course can make a donation to the camp even if you don't need a bike.
We hope to see you there, and don't forget about the fire works on Saturday June 21 at 10:00
Remember....
Be Smart... Be Safe... BE READY! Fire Marshal Bob
