• Tour fire trucks, police vehicles, and other emergency equipment
• Face painting
• Kids' temporary tattoos
• Games and activities

• And plenty of additional surprises throughout the evening
"This is one of our favorite events of the year because it gives us the opportunity to spend time with the people we serve in a relaxed, family-friendly setting," said Chief David Leavitt. "Strong communities are built on relationships, and National Night Out is a great opportunity to get to know your local first responders, ask questions, and simply enjoy an evening together."
Fire Chief Troy Shoemaker added, "Whether you've lived in Alliance your entire life or have just recently joined our community, we hope you'll come out and spend the evening with us. We're looking forward to meeting families, visiting with neighbors, and making this year's National Night Out our best yet."
