Garrett Jordy’s Birthday Party

Two of Coles’ life members, Debra and Andy Negevsky, arranged with the department’s assistant public education officer, Christina Holcomb, to host their nephew Garrett Jordy’s fifth birthday party at the station on Saturday, August 13th. As part of the festivities, Lt. Chad Briggs gave the kids a hands-on tour of the fire apparatus, and then showed some of the parents the HazMat trailers and tools. Christina, who is also an EMT, gave the kids an up-close and personal look at the ambulances. One of the fathers mentioned how nice it was to have this kind of environment for a party, as opposed to the commercialized hype of a Chuck E Cheese’s.

Garrett’s mother Kami said “Garrett and his sister Cienna loved every bit of it, and they are still talking about how much fun they had. My husband Darrell and I, along with the other parents, even learned about some things, such as HazMat response and the tanker trucks. I think this turned out to be Garrett’s best birthday ever!”

Patrick is a Firefighter, and has been with Coles since 2009. He was born in 1992 and has lived in this area his entire life. He is currently a Sales Manager.

"I always wanted to be a volunteer, and I had a few friends that were members here so I asked them to show me around. The next month, I started.

I feel that everyone can find the time to volunteer. We always need both associates and full members."
