Happy Halloween from KVFD! 🎃 As you gear up for a night of fun and excitement, remember to stay safe out there! While Halloween is an exciting time, taking a few precautions can help prevent injuries or accidents. Keep these tips in mind: 🔦 Carry a flashlight to help you see and be seen while trick-or-treating. ✨ Use reflective tape or glow sticks to enhance visibility in the dark. 🎨 Opt for non-toxic makeup instead of masks that can obstruct your vision. 🚦 Always cross streets at marked crosswalks and intersections. 🍬 Inspect all treats before enjoying them, and discard anything that looks suspicious. #Halloween #SafetyTips #KensingtonMD #Maryland #TrickorTreat

While many recognize our brave firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics, KVFD also has a dedicated administrative team working hard behind the scenes! Our Executive Vice President, Jay Leach, highlights the pivotal role these members play in processing applications, fundraising, and coordinating community events—essential for keeping our department running smoothly. If you're eager to give back in a non-operational role, this could be the perfect fit for you!
