2.2 We are pleased to report the successful completion of the 5th Annual Junior
Firefighters' Program. The program was increased this year to allow for 160
children. The program is designed to teach 11 and 12 year olds fire safety and
fire prevention. They also gain an insight into the role the firefighter and fire
department has in the community. We have received a lot of feed back from the
parents and children supporting the success of the program.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the local businesses that
help us make the program the success it is.
3. RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1 It is respectfully recommended that report FD-16-99 be received for information.
Respectfully submitted,
