Scouts to learn safety and first aid at VRFA fire station event on Wednesday, Oct. 29

The Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA) invites scouts and their families to a free “Scout Night at the Fire Station” on Wednesday, Oct. 29, from 5:30 to 8:30 p. m. at Station 33 in Lakeland Hills. Participants can fulfill badge requirements by visiting stations focused on essential safety topics such as smoke alarms, cooking safety, knot tying, first aid, and emergency preparedness.

Families can register by calling 253-288-5881 or emailing Public. Info@vrfa. org. This event aims to equip scouts with practical knowledge and skills, reinforcing the importance of safety in their daily lives. The VRFA emphasizes community engagement through educational programs like this one, which helps foster a sense of responsibility among youth.

For those unable to attend, Puget Sound Fire will host a similar event in Kent on September 29, ensuring broader access to safety education. Such initiatives are crucial for preparing the next generation to handle emergencies effectively. The event reflects the VRFA's ongoing commitment to public safety and community outreach.
