Despite brisk, damp weather last Thursday, another good crowd attended the annual Plattsmouth Volunteer Fire Department spaghetti feed.
“The community has been supportive of the ‘World Famous’ spaghetti feed,” said Chief Mike Wilson.
Held during Fire Prevention Week, this event not only raises money for the fire department, it also brings the department and the community closer together in raising awareness on how to prevent fires, he said.
The public was invited to take home informative tips on fire prevention and safety measures from harmful gases, as well as little flashlights and key chains.
New technology, brought in from Offutt Air Force Base, allowed the kids to use real fire extinguishers to put out simulated fires on a screen.
