The Riverside County Fire Station #33 directs the field operations with the assistance of Station #55 and Volunteers from area stations. Firefighters provide and operate "Hands On" team type field activities for third grade students of James Carter, Gerald Ford, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, and George Washington Charter elementary schools. Children participate on the field in the morning. Following lunch, the "Awards Assembly" convenes complete with Smokey and Sparky. The Historical Society is proud to announce that at the close of the 2011 Muster over 11,000 students will have experienced this valuable training. You are invited to attend any one or all of the five programs.
