Nature: Birthday Milestones, Pool Fills, and Neighborhood Canvas for Fire Prevention during the current period ending Sunday, July 19th

Indian River Continues to Recognize Birthday Milestones with Drive-by Events, Coordinates Fire Prevention Neighborhood Canvas and Fills Pool….

As we continue to address the implications of the COVID-19 quarantine and social distancing requirements, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company developed a proactive approach to continue spreading information regarding fire prevention and fire safety as well as learning that social distancing is equally essential during this coronavirus pandemic.  We all continue to evaluate re-opening, phasing-in events or more frequently closing down alternatives and options that many children, adults, friends, and family members have surrendered to.

As many know, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company developed a fire prevention and milestone recognition process that attempts to recognize these occasions and help our community deal with the current new normal by celebrating some drive-by events for birthday parties, fire truck rides when applicable, and distribution of fire prevention and safety information.

Additionally, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company has been canvassing designated neighborhoods to enhance the awareness of fire prevention techniques as well as smoke detector distribution where needed.  This community canvas effort is designated to ensure neighborhood resident homes are protected with working smoke detectors.  If detectors are needed, we will install them for you and provide you with specific fire safety and prevention information.  The most recent neighborhood canvas was coordinated in the Bay City development off of Long Neck where fifty (50) homes were targeted and twenty-seven (27) smoke detectors were distributed.

Identified herewith are recent milestone observations where it was recognizing birthday events for residents in our community.

Illustrated herewith are some photographs of these events.
