Welcome to Community Fire & Rescue

 SAVE THE DATE!!
2023 First Responders Youth Camp

May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month.  It is an initiative by the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition. Fitness isn’t just for professional athletes. As doctors and nutritionists will tell you, any physical movement is good for you.

As a department we are going to calculate how many steps/miles we can all do in one month and we would love to have our community join in on the fun. 

For the month of May Community Fire and Rescue Challenges our community to "Walk It Off". 

Let's all get up and get moving!!

Physical activity can make daily life better.

- Improves mood, focus. and sleep

- Helps you feel more energized, calm,  

   and confident.

- Makes it easier to do everyday activities. 

You can calculate your steps/miles using your smart phone or smart watch. If you do not have either of these there are affordable pedometers online for purchase.
