As colder weather nears, South King Fire and Rescue has made it a mission to keep the community cozy.
South King Fire and Rescue firefighters provided brand new winter coats to all kindergarteners and first graders at Lake Grove Elementary last week, part of Operation Warm. Operation Warm is a nonprofit organization that partners with local communities to give children in need new winter coats, which also in turn provides warmth, confidence and hope.
“We’re hoping the coats positively impact the students practically by keeping them warm and creates a positive connection to public servants, specifically the fire department and school teachers,” said Jeff Bellinghausen, community affairs officer for South King Fire and Rescue.
