Tiger Scouts from Den 15, Pack 263 were very excited to meet with the New Providence Fire Department Captains on Saturday, April 9. Captains, John Signorello, Vincent Wycko and Robert Mercado assisted the Tiger Scouts with their Safety Badge by giving them a full tour of the firehouse and the fire trucks. The Tiger Scouts were working on their elective badge Safe and Smart. Captain Signorello gave them fire safety tips and allowed the boys to hold an oxygen tank on their back, sit inside the fire truck and see how a heat sensor works.
Captain Signorello also reviewed fire tips such as stop, drop and roll and what to do in a fire emergency. The New Providence Fire Department is comprised of all volunteers. The New Providence Fire Department will consider volunteers as young as 16 years old giving them light duties around the firehouse. Anyone who would like to volunteer can contact the NPFD directly via their website: http://newprovfd.org/.
