Dedication Ceremony
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2021
This evening firefighters met at The Little Red Schoolhouse to dedicate our fire prevention dog costume. The costume is in memory of Conrad Kiesel (father/husband to the owners) of Little Red. Mr. Kiesel passed away a few years ago and the family asked for donations in lieu of flowers, to be made to our company. With these donations we were able to purchase this fire prevention costume to be used at the local schools and daycare centers! We provide fire prevention education to 4 elementary schools and numerous daycare centers in our fire district, in addition to supporting many local events in our surrounding community! This costume will serve the young members of our community for many years to come!
