This summer, camping in Parksville with family came with a little bonus education.
Parksville Fire Rescue rolled in with the big red truck, ready to teach our campers all about fire safety. Big campers, small campers, everyone at our campground was equally excited to see it pull up, and a few future firefighters were inspired along the way.
This visit has become a yearly tradition here at Pathfinder Parksville, and it’s easy to see why. Kids got the chance to ask the firefighters their own questions, from how the ladder works to what it’s really like to fight a fire, and left with a whole new appreciation for the job.
Parksville Fire Rescue walked our campers through the basics of fire safety, the kind of practical knowledge that’s useful no matter where you are, campsite or home. It’s the kind of lesson that sticks, especially when it comes wrapped in a giant red truck and a friendly firefighter.
