14th Annual Childs Dream

The 14^th Annual Childs Dream will take on a new look for 2011. Over the past 13 years the West End Fire & Rescue Company has hosted this program to create enthusiasm in the fire service for area youngsters. Recruiting young members is very important in the overall existence of the volunteer fire service. Last year officers from WEFR discussed opening the program up to the other two Borough Stations to help strengthen the program and to utilize each other’s resources and staffing. The idea was met with great reception from the Cumberland Valley Hose Company and the Vigilant Hose Company. A joint Committee was formed to plan the events for the 14^th Annual Childs Dream.

2011’s Childs Dream will be hosted at the CV Hose Company on June 25-26, 2011. The events will be a two full days starting at 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This program is open to area youngsters from the ages of 11 to 13 years of age. There is no charge for the event and each participant will receive two t-shirts for their participation. Events this year will range from the use of Fire Extinguishers, First Aid, Vehicle Rescue, Hose Line Drills, Obstacle Course and much more.
