Thanks go out to Hannaford Biddeford, Fully Involved LLC, Bear Hugs Preschool for providing the door prizes. The GMFRA provided the pop corn and refreshments. The Sparky suite and fire extinguisher trainer were loaned to us by Biddeford and Saco Fire Departments.We spent all day Tuesday at Lyman Elementary and all day Thursday at Dayton School doing the fire safety classes for each grade.

Junior activity: So that we remain compliant with Maine youth employment laws and Directive 2191, Juniors are not to be at the station after 1800 or before 0700 or during the hours school is in session. The exception to this rule would be when a scheduled department function is going on, and when that function is supervised by a fire officer. See General Notice 16-1432.
