On July 20th, in partnership with the Sherwood Park RCMP, 2461 members hosted the kids from the Camp Sunrise - Kids Cancer Camp. The kids, who are always very excited to visit the firehall, got to see the fire trucks and squad cars, meet a police dog, spray water from a fire hose, watch a Tower Truck demo, and eat a firehall meal.
