Firefighters Hand Out Candy

SE Thurston Fire Authority (Yelm & Rainier Fire Department) was out in the city of Yelm to ensure the safety of Trick or Treat on Halloween night.

Chief Mark King, Lieutenant Ann Holeman, Firefighter/Public Education Coordinator Tony Brosco, and career and volunteer Firefighters/EMT were out in the community to make sure the children had a safe and fun Halloween.

The fire trucks and emergency vehicles were equipped with candy and Firefighters/EMT. The fire truck made a path through the neighborhoods of Yelm, firefighters making stops to hand out candy to kids.
