Finally
This fire department New Year ceremony is held every January at the same venue. Until last time, it was held in the morning, but this time it will be held in the afternoon, so it should be easier to attend even if mornings aren’t your thing.
The simultaneous water discharge is always impressive, and with the Challenge Rescue experience and vehicle displays too, it looks like both kids and adults can enjoy it. If you’re interested, why not drop by and take a look?
