While performing driver training in the township's Mallard neighbourhood on June 6th, members of the Allamuchy Fire Department had a pleasant surprise.

Ladder 91-69 workers stopped at a lemonade stand run by neighbourhood kids who were giving away free lemonade to passersby, according to officials. Firefighters enjoyed the cool respite during their training exercises because it was warm throughout the afternoon.

Members of the department expressed gratitude to the kids for their hospitality and kindness, pointing out that these kinds of community exchanges foster a closer relationship between locals and the fire service. Additionally, firefighters commended the young business owners for their optimistic outlook and attempts to make the neighborhood's residents smile.
