That's right! We have received official confirmation from the North Pole that Santa Claus will once again be joining us for a ride around Skyline Lake on Sunday, December 21st, 2014. SLFD firefighters will be giving out candy canes to all the good boys and girls in our neighborhood with a little help from Santa. Listen for the sirens and Christmas music to know when we are in your area. Also, be sure to stay on the good list this year; otherwise, Santa may not have a candy cane with your name on it!

October holds the nationally recognized Fire Prevention Week. This year, Fire Prevention week will be held during the week of October 5-11, 2014. SLFD participates in Fire Prevention week by visiting our local schools and teaching kids of all ages about fire safety and how to prevent fires.

The elementary school students receive a more basic lecture and learn about "Stop, Drop, and Roll." For the Fourth and Fifth Grade students, we bring our Fire Safety Trailer along with us and teach about fire safety in the home. What household items could cause a fire in your kitchen, living room, or bedroom? These are just a few of the things we discuss. Our Fire Safety Trailer visits are going to be held during the following week, October 14-17, 2014.

Be sure to read the story about a young boy who saved his family in Ringwood utilizing the information he learned during one of our Fire Prevention visits to his school last year.

We are now accepting applications for our Fall 2014 Craft and Vendor Show & Pet Adoption! Applications can be downloaded from our website at http://www.skylinelakefire.com/vault.

Please join us for our Indoor / Outdoor Craft and Vendor Show and Pet Adoption. Great Christmas and holiday gift ideas. We had such great feedback on our last spring show, that we are making a fall vendor and adoption event.

Large level lot, no admission and free parking. Please come out to support your volunteer fire department. Please "like" us and "share" on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/skylinelakefire. Please check back here frequently for updates and new information.

It is with deep regret that the Skyline Lake Fire Department must announce the passing of 48-year Lifetime Firefighter Jack Micari.
