George Hildebran Fire Rescue
At Lowe's Safety Day
George Hildebran Fire Rescue was invited to participate in the Lowe’s Safety Day which was held at Lowe’s Home Improvement Store in Morganton. Engine 731 was on hand, as well as representatives from the NC Forest Service, NC State Highway Patrol and Burke County CERT. Also, a special appearance was made by Smokey the Bear. Turn out was very good despite the pouring rain. Children were able to build a fire truck inside and then were able to view the emergency vehicles outside afterward. A thank you goes out to Lowe’s for inviting George Hildebran Fire Rescue to participate in this event.
