Isla Gardner standing a socially responsible distance from a pump truck.
It is especially hard when it is your birthday, and you are turning 7. An excited Isla Gardner received a visit from the Silton Fire Department. Full lights and sirens on arrival and a round of happy birthday sung over the loudspeaker was a bright spot in Isla’s day as she was unable to have a party. Though unable to sit in the truck due to social distancing, she was able to stand near the truck for a picture. This will be a birthday that she will always remember. The Silton Fire Department volunteers are doing their part to help flatten the curve and provide additional support to children in their fire service area celebrating birthdays at home. D’s Place has graciously donated gift certificates for the firefighters to give to the birthday child.
