Since 2015 the East Palestine Firefighters Association has hosted a fireworks show and community gathering at the East Palestine City Park for the 4th of July holiday.
The Firefighters Association raised the money to purchase all the equipment, but we rely on donations at the event to pay for the fireworks for the next year. The more people we bring to the park the more donations we receive for the next year. Our firemen are licensed and trained to set up, tear down and clean up after the show, we do it all ourselves without paying a contractor.
STEVE TIGELMAN AND KEITH DRABICH, FIRE CHIEF, were guests of Gary Rivers on the Mix Morning show. They shared information about the event to the audience.
