The City of Fishers Fire Department’s annual cul-de-sac drills start May 31 and run through the end of July.
The drills take place in local neighborhoods every summer. During the events, firefighters get out the hoses, spray water and give little and big kids an opportunity to handle the hose line or run through the spray, according to the FFD website.
The goal is to build relationships with people in the neighborhoods. Firefighters share personal stories about what it’s like to do the job and provide education on how most – but not all – fires can be prevented, according to the website.
“Creating a relationship between the community and the firefighters that protect them builds trust, encourages behavioral change for safety and gives confidence and comfort in knowing (them) personally,” FFD Chief Steve Orusa stated.
