On Sunday, November 13, we held an Open House and Community Day at our Station 1 on Oak Orchard Road. Memorial Fire Company of Slaughter Beach, Delaware, supplied a standby crew to answer any calls during the event. Most of the equipment of the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was on display as well as a Ladder Tower from the Georgetown Fire Company. Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company brought their Fire Safety and Prevention Trailer for display. Several State agencies including the Fire Marshal's Office, Agriculture Department, and Fish and Wildlife Department set up displays. Sparky, the Fire Dog, made an appearance. An Automobile Extrication Demonstration showed what we do at Motor vehicle Collisions. Trophies were presented to the winners of the Annual Fire Prevention Poster and Essay Contest from the Long Neck Elementary School.
