BORDENTOWN, NJ - On March 2nd, firefighters from Bordentown Township Fire District #1 joined colleagues from Fire District 2 to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday by visiting local schools and reading to students, trading their usual emergency gear for storybooks in a community-focused outreach effort.

The on-duty crews spent the morning engaging with children through classic Dr. Seuss stories, promoting literacy while building positive relationships with the community’s youngest members. While firefighters are more accustomed to responding to alarms than reading rhymes, participants embraced the opportunity to connect with students in a fun and meaningful way.
