Firefighters serving the Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District will be on hand to share fire safety and other public information topics Tuesday, August 3, 6:30 – 9 p.m., in support of “National Night Out,” a community-wide event that will take place at Citizens Park, 511 Lake Zurich Road, in Barrington.
The event, now in its 27th year, is a unique crime/drug prevention program sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW). It is designed to heighten crime and drug awareness, generate support for anti-crime efforts, and strengthen the bonds between public safety professionals and those they serve.
“The Fire Department is proud to participate in National Night Out 2010 and lend our support to the police department’s crime prevention efforts,” Fire Chief James Arie said.
According to NATW’s Website, last year’s campaign involved more than 36 million people from more than 15,000 communities. For more information, visit www.nationaltownwatch.org.
