Chatham Township Volunteer Fire Department members will supply music, grills, and soda. So bring your favorite items to grill. But don’t worry if you don’t have the time to put anything together. Come down anyway. There is always plenty of food!

As always there will be a special guest appearance from McGruff, the Crime Dog. Don’t forget those camera’s as you will want to capture those smiles of the kids of all ages, exploring the firehouse, checking out the fire trucks and of course trying on the fire fighters gear that is used to protect themselves when they respond to our communities calls.
