What’s better on a hot summer day than running through a sprinkler?
Dallas Fire & EMS provided that opportunity on the afternoon of Aug. 5 at Dallas’ Gala Park at the corner of Hankel Street and Uglow Avenue, courtesy of Fire Engine 101.
April Welsh, the Fire & EMS community service officer, said the department set up an impromptu sprinkler park on the last day of school in June, and the firefighters had so much fun, they decided to do it again.
They posted the Aug. 5 event at Gala Park the night before, saying Engine 101 would be at the park from 1 to 3 p.m.
“We actually had kids waiting for us when we got here,” Welsh said.
She said it’s a way to connect with the community in a fun way.
