While returning from a helicopter landing call, Engine 49-2 was waved in by a group of Hanover High School Seniors having a car wash. Firefighters McDermitt and Wysocki wheeled the engine in and the class of 2016 set out scrubbing the engine. Deciding to help out the kids more, they returned to quarters and got Engine 46-3 and returned for the students to wash that one as well. The seniors posed for photos with our firefighters all while wearing red plastic fire helmets. After the rigs were washed, the firefighters gave the students some hands on experience with some oft he tools of the trade. Firefighters McDermitt and Wysocki made the $25.00 donation out of their own pockets. They were told by the students they matched what was donated all day by other patrons combined. Community service comes full circle some days, and today, our firefighters helped out our future generation by supporting their fundraising event.
