An Afternoon with Mobile Fire-Rescue
Dumas Wesley's After School Achievement Program welcomed special guests from the Crichton Fire Station on Wednesday, February 19, 2020.

The children enjoyed meeting Deputy Chief Trenier and his wife, Donna, who provided banana splits for all the kids. "The opportunity to see the smiles on the kids' faces was simply priceless," said Chief Trenier. Participants also enjoyed playing basketball and dancing with local fire personnel.

Since April of 2019, Dumas Wesley has welcomed Mobile Fire-Rescue to its after school program, bonding over a friendly game of basketball. "The Mobile Fire-Rescue Department is committed to building relationships in the communities we serve," said Chief Trenier. Learn more about the After School Achievement Program here .
