CHILDREN'S BIRTHDAY PARTIES:

Our Fire Trucks love a child's birthday party. It is our goal to have a safe, fun and exciting time. Here are a few informational pointers for your upcoming party:

- Reservatino times are an important part of our busines. Many days, we have two or more parties reserved. The time you indicate on your reservation form is the time our Fire Truck will arrive at your party. If you need to make a change to this time, please call us immediately. We will make every effort to accommodate your request however we cannot guarantee availability.

- We encourage parents to reserve our fire trucks to arrive at least 30-minutes into your party. Many parents  arrive 10 or 15 minutes after your start time and having us arrive later means everyone can enjoy the show.
