David Walters with the Alpine Fire Department stepped into the SVI Radio studio on Wednesday, August 20 to promote the Alpine Fire Recruitment Day happening this Saturday.

(0:00) It’s weather and hot plates of biscuits and gravy Duke Dell and Dan on the SVI radio network (0:08) 748 this morning on SVI radio joining me live in studio this morning is David Walters (0:14) Dave is with the Alpine Fire Department (0:16) Well, he’s with a lot of things (0:18) But today he’s representing the Alpine Fire Department and their big fire recruitment day is up and coming this Saturday morning in Alpine (0:25) Dave good morning. How are you today? Good morning. Thank you for having me.
Absolutely (0:28) Well, let’s talk about the fire recruitment day (0:32) And in fact you and I were just talking about this before you came on the air (0:35) It’s been a really busy summer for all the volunteers and in the Lincoln County and the Alpine Fire Department. No exception (0:42) I’m sure you guys would welcome maybe a little extra help and some many hands on deck as you can get (0:47) Oh, yeah, we’ve been a busy summer. We’ve had quite a few incidents, you know a few brush fires (0:53) some house calls and then of course, you know our (0:56) Car accidents, so we we’ve been busy and this is something really important for us (1:02) And we really felt like it was important for us to reach out to the community on this event (1:07) We have our recruitment day this Saturday at the Alpine Fire Station in Alpine (1:12) From 9 a.m. To 12 p.m (1:14) It’s from 90.
I’m sorry. It’s (1:16) from 9 a.m. To 12 p.m. Free doughnuts and coffee (1:20) But the most important thing is that I think everybody in this community wants to help out some way (1:26) no matter if you’re helping out at the food bank or if you’re in the senior center or maybe something that you’re involved in a (1:33) church, but we really need volunteers at the Alpine Fire Department to (1:39) Help the community and help yourselves and without volunteers, you know, there’s just nobody gonna be out there to (1:46) Do do this stuff, you know to come come assist in an emergency situation (1:50) So we really depend on the community to get involved to be a volunteer (1:55) You can do as much or as little with the fire department as you want. So this day is just about answering questions (2:02) Playing with some of our equipment spraying some hoses checking out our lat new ladder truck (2:08) I think you can you know, really enjoy the time bring your kids and just check it all out (2:14) Other than that, you know, we just want to (2:17) make sure everybody’s safe this season and take the opportunity to talk about the fire restrictions that started yesterday and (2:24) That we can’t do any burning anymore right now (2:27) Yeah, absolutely, and that’s pretty much everywhere for service BLM County land.
I mean everybody’s enacted those instructions. So good reminder (2:34) Dave Walters in studio this morning Alpine Fire Department and their recruitment day this Saturday at the Alpine Firehouse 9 a.m (2:42) To noon to show up any time during that window day. Absolutely.
Yep, and be there and (2:48) Why are you part of the Alpine Fire Department if someone’s out there thinking? Why should I I mean, why are you what? (2:55) What’s your motivation? (2:56) Well, I started almost six years ago with the Alpine Fire Department (2:59) And I just really felt like I wanted to give back to the community in some way (3:02) You know with I’ve lived here 20 years had my business here in the valley and really felt like you know (3:08) I wanted to give back to the community (3:10) So I feel like it’s a very rewarding position there (3:14) There’s a so much good feelings when you go out and maybe save a life or assist in some emergency situation and you go home (3:22) You know feeling like you’re really done something good. So I really enjoy that Dave Walters Alpine Fire (3:29) recruitment day this Saturday 9 to noon and (3:33) Just come on and check it out. See what it’s all about, right? Yep.
Thank you everybody and have a safe rest of your summer (3:39) That’s Dave Walters this morning on the weekday. Wake up. It’s all part of the SBI Radio Network
