Touch A Truck Quite a Success

March 10, 2014 by Leave a comment

Thanks to the City of Decatur Fire, Police and Public Works Departments and DeKalb County Fire, Public Works, Traffic Engineering and Sanitation for bringing out lots of trucks and other vehicles for the annual Touch A Truck event held last Saturday in Decatur.

More than 2000 people attended and had a great time exploring, seeing, climbing in (and on), and of course touching the trucks. We collected three barrels of food for DEAM which the Decatur Firefighters will deliver. Thanks to everyone who attended.

Enjoy the photos!
