The Elmore IGA raised $584.50 as a part of its annual Community Chest program, money that comes from the sale of products in store. Brigade captain Tim Hunter said the money would go towards purchasing new branches for the brigade’s vehicle.
Mr Hunter spoke to the students about smoke alarms, smoke safety and fire safety, including how to evacuate if there was a fire in their homes. The kids then were shown the brigade’s pumper, and allowed to squirt water from the hose, and took home a bag filled with fun activities, stickers, balloons and important information on how to be fire safe.
