The Underwood Fire Department hosted its Fun with Firefighters event Saturday at Poolside Park in Underwood. Kids enjoyed playing in the large foam pit, putting out fires in a mock building, a fire hydrant splash zone, food, and giveaways. Fire chief Jesse Carr says the event is as much about fun as fire safety. “It’s one last fun event before school begins,” Carr said. “It gets the Fire Department out there in front of kids. We talk about fire safety, smoke alarms, knowing safe routes, and knowing where smoke detectors are in their home.” After taking two years of f due to COVID and drought conditions, Fun with Firefighters came back bigger than before, adding a large fire hydrant splash zone.
