New Uniforms and Clean Trucks!

Scroll down to see more content

With the implementation of the new uniforms for the WFPD, we had to have a fitting night! On Tuesday, April 9th, after some work with the ladies and gentlemen of the WFPD, we got the firefighters in attendance fitted! We will be rolling out a great group photo once the new uniforms come back from the tailor’s!

Meanwhile, a couple of the Junior Firefighters worked with our volunteer firefighters to roll and pack hoses on the trucks!

Finally, it was time to scrub down some of the trucks! Almost everyone had a hand in washing at least one of each of the four trucks! They did a great job!

Our next meeting on Tuesday, April 23rd will include SCBA training (maybe with some special guests)! We look forward to seeing you there!
