Cost is $5 per person to eat in the “apparatus bay” where firetrucks normally are parked. Menu includes pancakes, eggs, bacon and fruit.

Firefighters are offering tours of the station, face painting and chalk drawing for children, a fire hose fun, and tours of the ambulances and fire engines. Firefighters for Fun will offer safety demonstrations and rides on vintage fire equipment.
