This from Josh Boyajian:

Today, we had our first open house in many years. Many of our members put a lot of hard work into putting this on. We had numerous booths that people could visit along with a complementary hot dog and chips. We also did an auto extrication demo, fire extinguisher demo, and lastly a side by side live burn demo. I attached numerous photos from the event.
