The community will have an opportunity to talk to local Lamar County Firefighters on Saturday, Oct. 30 during the Lamar County Firefighters’ Meet & Greet Community Event.
Tyler Bussell with Powderly Volunteer Fire Department said the driving factor behind the meet and greet is to help bring the community together and have a good time.
“I hope the community meets the volunteers that serve them and receives a little bit of information about what we do as volunteer firefighters,” Bussell said.
During the meet and greet, there will be competitions between different fire departments, one of which is an obstacle course. Bussell said they will also use extrication equipment to cut up a car.
The Lamar County Firefighters’ Meet & Greet Community Event will be at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds, 570 E. Center St., on Oct. 30 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
