The visit was hosted by Chief Chad Letterle, Assistant Chief Nick Hanson, firefighter Luke Hanger and Nick Goff of the Explorer program. Cub Scouts were shown proper use of firefighters’ personal protective equipment, or PPE. The Scouts were also shown some of the various equipment used during emergencies, along with a demonstration of proper use of the ladder truck.
