Lemon Ave., from 7- 11 a.m. The cost of the pancake and sausage breakfast is only $5 per person with children 3 and under eating for free.
In addition to breakfast and a chance to meet your favorite fire fighters, there will be demonstrations of fire fighting techniques. For the children there will be a “Jumper” and a Junior Fire Fighters Challenge. The Challenge allows youngsters to practice basic fire fighting skills.
