Day on the Lake - 2017
For over 14 years San Jose Fire Fighters have participated in the Far West Wheelchair Association summer sports camp.
The highlight every year is Day on the Lake as fire fighters provide manpower, boats & BBQ for campers & staff.

Thanks to Antipasto's Deli and Pizza My Heart as well as the City of San Jose Park's and Rec for sponsoring this great event.
