MANASSAS VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY OPEN HOUSE |
|
October 22, 2005 - Today the Fire Company held
its first annual open house and recruitment drive.
From 10am to 4pm, members from the department, among
other things, gave tours of the station and allowed
members of the community to try on gear and operate
handlines off of the Wagon. With heavy rain pounding
the area, we thought it would put a damper on the
festivities, but that wasn't the case. Several
hundred visitors made their way through the quarters
of Engine and Tower 1, meeting and talking with
Manassas Volunteers and enjoying refreshments
supplied by the ladies auxiliary. We provided free
T-shits for the children, coloring books, patches,
and stickers. Several visitors expressed their
interest in joining the MVFC and filled out
applications. Throughout the day, Manassas
Volunteers maintained four crews, answering the
normal assortment of fire alarms, medicals, and
accidents, as well as an early afternoon box
assignment. This brought the Engine and Tower to the
Manassas Mall to investigate the odor of natural gas
which would later prove to be unfounded. Special
thanks to fireman Joe Donoghue for his extra time
and effort spent coordinating the events that made
our open house a tremendous success. |
