The Chili Fire Department and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office were both asked to participate in an important fund raiser for a local young boy named Patrick Carr. Patrick is a kindergartener at the Chestnut Ridge Elementary school and he is battling Neuroblastoma and a tumor on his adrenal gland. The Sheriff’s Department brought out their D.A.R.E vehicle and they also had their equipment to make New York State safe child cards which was a big hit with the kids. The fire department spent the day letting the public climb all over the ladder truck and answered questions about volunteering and about fire safety in the home. Patrick is a tough and strong boy who has a lot of support from the community to help his fight and the committee who put this whole event together deserves “A Hats Off” and a job well done.
