FARMINGTON – The Wolf Creek Fire Protection District is hosting a Cruise In at the new Discount Tire store on Valley Creek Drive in Farmington on Friday October 21st from 5:30 to 9 PM.
This is a free public event to show or view.
The purpose of the Cruise In is to increase the awareness of the need for volunteer firefighters. Seven out of ten firefighters and emergency responders are volunteers.
In St. Francois County, only Farmington has a paid fire department. All other areas of the county are covered by volunteer departments. These dedicated volunteers respond to fires, auto accidents, medical emergencies and a variety of rescue calls.
The Cruise In is open to all show cars, hot rods, rat rods, customs, classics, muscle cars, trucks, and any other unique vehicle you want to drive in and show off. If you’re proud of it, we want to see it. Wolf Creek Fire apparatus will also be displayed.
There will be raffles, hot dogs and sodas for the Cruise In participants. Dash plaques will be given to the first 40 participants. Firefighters will be on hand to answer questions about the rewards of being a firefighter. Applications to be a firefighter will be available.
Food trucks will be on site for viewers. Free stuff will be available for the kids as well as photo ops in front of the fire apparatus.
