Enjoy family-friendly activities centered around our beloved four-legged friends. Families are encouraged to come spend a morning at the fire station, promising to be as informative as it will be entertaining. One of the highlights of the event will be the exclusive opportunity to meet Yara, California’s first full-time fire station wellness dog. Yara has quickly become a cherished member of the firefighting team, providing comfort and support to brave firefighters. The Heartland Fire & Rescue team will be available to share heartwarming stories and insights about Yara’s role in promoting wellness and camaraderie within the department. In addition to meeting Yara, families can enjoy engaging tours of the fire station, where they will have the chance to explore the facilities and gain insight into the crucial work firefighters do every day. This behind-the-scenes experience is a wonderful opportunity for children and adults alike to learn about fire safety and the important role firefighters play in protecting the community. For all the dog lovers in attendance, there will be an extra treat in store; families are encouraged to bring their own canine companions to join in the fun! Thanks to the generous support from Camp-Run-a-Mutt, free dog washes will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Pamper your furry friends and give them a refreshing wash to beat the summer heat. This event is free and open to the public.
