Nature: Fire Prevention & Fill-the-Boot Campaign

Location: Super G Grocery Store

Address: John J. Williams Highway, Millsboro, DE 19966

On Saturday, June 14th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company hosted a fire prevention public awareness and fill-the-boot campaign to enhance public awareness of the volunteer fire service in Delaware and to raise funding for the new tanker.

This Fire Prevention Public Awareness Initiative permitted the dissemination of fire safety and fire prevention publications for children. These materials included fire prevention coloring books and pamphlets, firefighter hats, and other related publications.

The Fill-the-boot campaign accepted donations for the volunteer fire company operations and enhanced awareness that Delaware's fire service is 100% volunteer.

During the event, Tanker 80 was delivered to the Indian River VFC and made a cameo appearance.

The Indian River Volunteer Fire Company wishes to acknowledge the generous contributions of these patrons as well as the tremendous outpouring of community support as well as the corporate partners that permitted this event to happen.
