The Harrison Fire Department will open its doors to area residents so they can learn about what it takes to be a volunteer firefighter in their community as part of the fifth annual RecruitNY statewide initiative. As part of RecruitNY, on Sunday, April 26 from 10am-2 pm, the Harrison Fire Department, located at 206 Harrison Ave, Harrison NY, will join volunteer fire departments all across the state at their respective firehouses for a unified recruitment drive as part of National Volunteer Week 2015. Not only will RecruitNY be an opportunity to highlight the duties and rewards that come with being a volunteer firefighter, it will also raise public awareness about the need for volunteers. Throughout the day, the Harrison Fire Department will conduct tours of the station and firefighter apparatus, allow visitors to try on firefighter gear and provide activities and stations throughout the firehouse for visitors. The fire department will discuss the requirements to be a volunteer, as well as conduct demonstrations, answer questions and let visitors know how to get involved in the fire department. EVENT PARKING WILL BE ON COLONIAL PL (EMILIO'S RESTAURANT PARKING LOT) |
