They also had extraction demonstrations, fire truck races with hose lines, and people could check out the bomb squad and state investigators.
“What we want the community to take away from this is we’re here for them, anytime,” he said. “We’re blessed in Vandalia to have the support of our community, and this is our opportunity to say thank you and give them a chance to see what we do.”
Sowers said they host this open house every year on the first Sunday in October.
