Firehouse Tours for Children
Let me begin by saying this may seem like an odd place to post a firehouse tour article, but having strong public relations skills is a key component to becoming a great fire officer. A tour of the firehouse falls into the PR category as much, or more, than anything else we will do while wearing our uniform. With that thought in mind, below is an article filled with helpful information.
Deputy Chief Frank Viscuso
