OPEN Fire HOUSE

Fire Department hosts open house to raise funds

Sprawled out like a retail store of gadgets, fire hoses, gloves and masks, the Copperas Cove Fire Department opened its doors on Saturday and displayed what the public would only see during their worst days.
 
In one area, an older brother mentored his little brother on how to pick up and shoot a fire hose with the supervision of fire department personnel.
 
The obstacle course where modeled fire would fall upon contact was constructed by Fire Chief Michael Neujahr in just a few hours.
