In addition to conveying important safety messages, East Pierce firefighters will be selling discounted life jackets ($19), bike helmets ($11), and multi-sport helmets ($13). The wearer must be present for a custom fitting. Children and adult sizes will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Safeway will offer flu shots (insurance billing or credit/debit card only).
Top it off with free ice cream, popcorn, and cotton candy from the East Pierce Professional Firefighters Local 3520.
The Corndoggery will be on site selling their gourmet burgers and sides.
Other interactive demonstrations and booths include:
-Antique Engine Display-Free Face Painting and Balloon Twisting-Children’s Fire Safety Trailer-PSE Electrical Safety-South Sound 911-Operation Lifesaver Train Safety-Pierce County Emergency Mgmt.
