MOUNT OLIVE, NJ — April 22nd — Together with township staff and emergency personnel, Budd Lake Volunteer Fire Department members participated in Bring Your Kids to Work Day at Mount Olive Town Hall. Children were given a close-up look at fire apparatus, equipment, and everyday operations as firefighters talked about community service, safety, and collaboration. Young guests had the opportunity to learn more about volunteer firefighters' roles in the township and the duties of emergency personnel.

In addition to introducing younger generations to the fire service, community engagement initiatives like Bring Your Kids to Work Day continue to assist departments in fostering relationships with local families. These kinds of events are also thought to be a crucial means of promoting public safety awareness and future volunteer recruitment.
