AVOCA, Pa. — Children got to explore vehicles first responders use every day on Saturday afternoon in Luzerne County.
The Avoca Fire Department hosted a Touch-a-Truck event that featured new and old specialized vehicles.
"We want the outreach there. We want the kids to come out and be able to see the fire trucks and get involved and maybe join the fire department too. We have applications here. But it gets out there and lets them see the different things that we do throughout the community," said Capt. Chris Collins, Avoca Fire Department.
The department also held a patch drawing competition for a children's cancer awareness t-shirt fundraiser that will take place later this year.
