Mag Fire Dept To Host Fireman’s Ball
The Magdalena Fire Department is hosting its inaugural Fireman’s Ball this Saturday, Aug. 8, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the WPA Theater (the gym building) on Main Street.
Fire Chief Tim O’Neill said the dance is free to the entire community.
“We wanted to do something everybody could enjoy,” O’Neill said. “The Murrillo Brothers will be playing and there will be water, sodas and chips. The idea is to provide an enjoyable atmosphere where the community could get together and have a good time. You don’t have to dance. There will be tables and chairs set up outside where you can hear the music and just visit.”
He said all members of the Fire Department will be recognized.
“We want everybody to be aware of who is taking their time to be a volunteer. This includes all fireman, who are also qualified as EMTs,” O’Neill said.
“We’d like to encourage some of the young people in town to get involved, and this way they can get to know who is doing it,” he said.
Attendance is free for the Fireman’s Ball and no donations will be requested.
“We feel like we want to start putting on events like this every year,” O’Neill said.
