Kids had a chance to squirt water from one of many pieces of TVF&R equipment parked outside Station 33.
Station 33's apparatus bay was lined with booths from various organizations that serve Sherwood.
TVF&R’s Sherwood Fire Station 33 was an exciting place for families this past Saturday. Kids had the opportunity to squirt water from a fire hose, crawl through a helicopter and sit in an armored Sheriff’s Office vehicle during the 11th annual Sherwood Community Services Fair. More than 800 people descended upon TVF&R’s fire station between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. for the event, one of the biggest crowds in the Fair’s history.
“This is a great opportunity to connect with the community,” said Station 33′s Captain Dan Atkisson, “we want to get to know the people we serve, and while they’re here we hope they learn something about all of the great organizations that serve the citizens of Sherwood.”
Visitors to the station had a chance to visit booths and talk to representatives from TVF&R, Sherwood School District, Sherwood Planning Department, Sherwood Library, Sherwood Police Department, Sherwood Emergency Management, YMCA, Clean Water Services, Pride Disposal, Life Flight, MetroWest Ambulance, and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
