The members of WKFD had a great drill today covering tanker operations. The people who put all this together worked countless hours planning and implementing today. Such a delight to see some old faces and also get to know new ones and share some great tips among team members from across Rhode Island and Connecticut. . We would also like to let West Greenwich fire, its members and families are in out thoughts.

Today is the day. Our first ever drive up "taste of fair" experience. It's rain or shine.
Few things for safety
*everyone should please wear a mask
*drive slow
*all the traffic for picking up food will only enter from the south bound lane (approaching the station on the right)
*contents are hot temperatures use caution driving with them
Most of all, this is supposed to be fun so let's all have a good time and thank you for your support of the fire station.
