Fall Fire Safety Day at CBWS Milford

September 12, 2008 What an awesome day! Great fun was had by everyone who came out to the Milford office for pumpkin painting, frisbee golf, other carnival games. Sassy, the clown, made all the kids look great with kittens, pumpkins, and other face painting designs. We were also treated to delicious culinary delights supplied by the agents in the office.The Miami Township Fire Department joined us for a fire safety extravaganza, bringing a ladder truck, a paramedic rig, and the smoke house--which simulates a house on fire and allows children to crawl through to help them understand how to 'stay low' to make it out of a burning house safely. Firefighters were also on hand to talk to kids about "stop, drop and roll" and other fire safety tips. A tip for adults, change the batteries in your smoke detectors when we change the clocks back this fall.

Even the Coldwell Banker mascot, Russell the Retriever, made an appearance at the Fire Safety Festival. Russell is sporting a Habitat for Humanity tee, an organization that is near and dear to Coldwell Banker's heart. Aren't they adorable? Coloring pages went out to all the Milford schools for a coloring contest for students in K-3rd grade. Winners will be chosen and announced soon. Thanks to all the people who made this event possible, and especially to those who came out to enjoy the fun. If you didn't make it this year, look for this event next year in October!
