Darien’s Fire Depts Open Doors to Kids and Potential Volunteers
|
All three Darien volunteer fire departments participated in a statewide day for open houses on Saturday in order to attract volunteers. Kids were also welcome. Not a large number came to the events, held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on a cool, drizzly day when many had beat it out of town for the April school break. Darien Fire Department, with passers-by spotting the open house downtown, had a location advantage over the other two departments and attracted about 100 visitors. There were perhaps a dozen families at the Noroton Fire Department and “a handful” at the Noroton Heights Fire Department, organizers said.
