On Saturday November 22nd, the Southold Mothers' Club made a special visit to CFD to learn about the Fireman of the community.

The group of 20 children and their parents were greeted by 1st Asst. Chief Dinizio, and were given the opportunity to explore the fire trucks and ambulances in the firehouse as well as meet many of the Firefighters and EMT's that serve our community.

The children enjoyed learning about the importance of recognizing a firefighter in turnout gear and special tools that they use. They were shown an Air-pack (SCBA), hoses and even had the chance to see how a Thermal imaging camera works.

As a special treat, CFD's Sparky the firedog made a surprise appearance, spending time with the children throughout the morning.

As part of their visit, each child was given souvenir coloring book and fire prevention materials to take home with them.

The event concluded with Pizza and refreshments.

Thank You to the Southold Mothers Club for stopping by to visit with us.

We hope you enjoyed your day with us.
