The Ridgefield Volunteer Fire Department's Annual Firefighters’ Carnival and Fireworks will be from Wednesday June 24 through Saturday June 27 at East Ridge Middle School in Ridgefield, CT. Fireworks will be on Friday June 26 at dusk in honor of America’s 250th and to salute the “Spirit of America’s Volunteerism”
The carnival and fireworks are being sponsored by Keeler and their family of area dealerships: BMW of Ridgefield, Genesis of Ridgefield, Toyota of Westport, Lexus of Westport and Audi Hawthorne. Proceeds from the Carnival fuel the life-saving mission of the Ridgefield Volunteer Fire Department and help fund such critical items as: personal protective gear for firefighters; specialized training to meet State and Federal standards; sophisticated equipment used to save lives and structures; and educational materials for school and community safety programs.
“The Keeler family of dealerships have long valued and appreciated the life-saving work of the Ridgefield Volunteer Fire Department and this year we are proud to sponsor the annual carnival and the special fireworks in honor of America’s 250th and to salute the “Spirit of America’s Volunteerism”!” stated Jesse Hord, Dealer Principal of Keeler Motors. Mr. Hord encourages all to “Come out for some rides, food, and fun while supporting our volunteer firefighters!”
Ridgefield Volunteer Fire Department Chief Tim Pambianchi expressed his thanks to the Keeler family of dealerships for their sponsorship. “We are grateful to such a caring community that supports 60 volunteer firefighters and fire-police members who respond at all hours when help can’t wait.” Chief Pambianchi stated. He added, “There is an urgency to our mission and due in no small measure to the community’s generosity, we are trained and prepared to answer those calls for help.”
