Lakeview Elementary-
It's not often that we get to go out and meet the next generation of firefighters, but on February 2nd, 2013, the crew from Station #3 got that opportunity when we were invited to the
Lakeview Elementary School "Bike Rodeo." This awesome program is centered around bike safety, but the firefighters and law enforcement also had the opportunity to talk about other safety topics.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the
San Diego County Sheriff's Department were also in attendance to talk with the kids, and the
Optimist Club of Lakeside was there cooking some great food.. Of course the firefighters always view this as a recruitment tool as we all knew we wanted to be firefighters in grade school, and given the interest, I think Lakeside will be in good hands for generations to come.

A special treat for the crew came when we put our "Probationary Firefighter" in a public speaking role. Asked to give a ten minute talk about fire safety, we think he did a good job for his first time. As you might guess this won't be the last time he's asked to talk in front of a crowd.

Thank You Lakeview Elementary School for inviting us to such a fun event.
