Lakeside Fire Presents Two Dealerships with Certificates of Appreciation

East County-

Recently the Lakeside Fire Protection District held a comprehensive training event dealing with the complexities of today's new vehicle technology (original story). Essential to this training opportunity was the ability to look over these vehicles and to actually see the new safety features.

The Lakeside Fire District approached DCH Honda of Lemon Grove and Toyota of El Cajon to see if it was possible to borrow two hybrid vehicles for this training opportunity. Both dealerships enthusiastically responded to the request and provided vehicles for the training.

On Tuesday, April 26, 2011, the Lakeside Fire District presented Certificates of Appreciation to both of these fine businesses. By providing these vehicles for training, area firefighters are now better prepared to deal with vehicles and the new technology. We would like to thank the staff at DCH Honda of Lemon Grove and Toyota of El Cajon for their generosity.
