National Night Out was introduced in 1984, by the National Association of Town Watch, a non-profit crime prevention organization. The First Night Out involved 400 communities, and last year’s event attracted more than eleven thousand communities.

National Night Out

Most of us know about the “National Night Out” program. This program is focused on law enforcement. It was great to see the City of Deltona, Florida’s Fire Department fully engaged in this year’s event. Firefighters and Chief Bill Snyder were on hand to show kids a front-line fire apparatus and various firefighting equipment. YES, the Pink Engine, Eng 82 is a front-line unit. The engine was on display with 100’s of signatures from cancer patients from the community. This engine has become a symbol of hope.

WELL DONE, Chief Snyder, and Deltona Fire Department.
