The Lebanon Fire District held its annual Fire Safety Expo on Saturday, October 5th, welcoming many community members for a day of fire safety, live demonstrations, and fun activities.
“We’re very grateful to everyone who came out and supported the event,” said Fire Chief Joseph Rodondi. “Events like these show how strong our community is, and it’s a great chance for people to see what we do to keep them safe.”
The event featured exciting live demonstrations, including firefighters tackling a house fire, rescuing someone from a vehicle, and performing a cardiac arrest response. These demos gave the public an up-close look at the skills and teamwork involved in emergency situations.
Along with the demonstrations, the Expo included booths from key community partners, such as the Lebanon Police Department, LFCAIRS (Lebanon Fire Community Assistance and Relief Services), Life Flight, and Linn County Search and Rescue. Their involvement helped make the event a success!
A highlight of the day was the inaugural LFCAIRS Pancake Breakfast, which attracted nearly 100 people and raised $600. The funds will be used to provide safety equipment and assistance to fire loss victims in Lebanon. If you'd like to support LFCAIRS, donations can be made at 1050 W. Oak Street, Lebanon, OR 97355. Be sure to follow LFCAIRS on Facebook for updates and upcoming events.
We also extend a special thank you to Lieutenant Candace Hedding for her exceptional coordination of the event, as well as Firefighter Tyler Day and Engineer Nick Unruh for their hard work in ensuring everything ran smoothly.
The Lebanon Fire District thanks everyone who came out to the Expo and made it a great day. We look forward to seeing you at future events and continuing to serve our community!
