**BUSY WEEK FOR THE SOMERS VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPT**

🚒 It was another busy week for the SVFD, with a total of 85 Fire & EMS calls! 🚑

In between emergency calls, our members held weekly training, attended the Somers High School Community Service Fair, stood by at Friday night’s football game, and participated in yesterday’s Halloween Preserves Parade. 🎃

Our members continue to show up day and night, and they to try their best to help our community.

A few notable calls that we responded to this past week:
