The Valley Regional Fire Authority hosts the fourth annual Scout Night at Lea Hill Fire Station 34 on Nov. 6.

Boy and Girl scouts from the Algona, Auburn and Pacific area are invited to join the crew from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The event includes a tour of the fire station, fire safety practices, basic first aid training, cooking safety, knot tying and information on how to be prepared for a disaster.

Scouts and their leaders can attend any or all of the seven learning stations. Firefighters and other subject matter experts will provide information on how to make their homes safe, change the batteries and test their smoke alarms, treat minor injuries, tie knots, and how to design and practice a home escape plan.

They also will also learn about emergency preparedness for individuals and families, and see firsthand the tools and equipment used by firefighters while learning more about a career in the fire service. New this year will be a cooking safety station where scouts will learn how to use the stove safely.

During the year the VRFA receives dozens of requests for station tours from local scouting groups. Consolidating all the needs of the Scouts into a single event has proven to be a better experience for both the Scouts and VRFA staff.

“Scout Night offers a more in-depth learning experience for the scouts combined with a fun evening at the fire station,” said Deputy Fire Chief Mike Gerber.

Station 34 is on the 31400 block of 124th Avenue Southeast in Auburn.

This event is open to scout groups and all other youth explorer and adventure groups. To register in advance and ask questions about the event, contacting Public Information & Education Officers, Kelly Tyson at 253-288-5882 or Kimberly Terhune, at 253-288-5881 or by email at Public.Info@vrfa.org.
