Essex Rescue would like to thank all of the members of the community who came out and visited with us at our open house on October 24th.
October 24th 2009 marked the day of the second annual open house here at Essex Rescue. The day began with a free adult CPR class given to members of the community who RSVP'd for the life saving class. With all participants becoming certified, the open house event began with IHOP serving delicious freshly made pancakes.
Even in light of rain in the forecast, proud Vermonters from all over Chittenden County began flowing in and meeting with our dedicated members. Conversations about our new building could be heard, along with a few familiar faces that simply said "thank you" and offered a hand shake. Families were seen laughing and smiling while children bounced in the huge bounce house that filled one of the garage bay's. Then children sat down for a coloring contest! Car seat info was available along with radio communications station let parents and kids ask questions and prepare themselves to make a 911 call.

Frontline Fire & Rescue Equipment Co., Hannafords, Heating Alternatives, Hoagies Pizza, Mimmo's Pizzeria, Snowflake Chocolates, Essex Outlet Cinema and 98.9 WOKO Radio Station.
