[x635 4,066]

Pretty neat idea.

ELMSFORD, N.Y. – The Elmsford Fire Department is hosting open houses next weekend for potential volunteers.

The open houses will take place on April 27 and 28.

“Stop by to meet your local firefighters, see some of the equipment used daily and experience a chance to try some of the gear on,” the department posted on the village website. “Learn what it’s like to be a volunteer firefighter or EMS responder. Ask us how you can help make our community better.”

Briarcliff's fb page has their open house on the 21st but the recruit ny link has it as the 27th.

Edit: The facebook event had the wrong dates. It is the 27th.

We had a pretty successful weekend. We had a good turn out of members from the department as well as the public. We secured 6 potential new members for the department and the Ladies Auxiliary secured 3 potential new members. A great weekend was had by all who came out.
