🎃🚒 When the delivery truck showed up with 2,500 pumpkins, nobody asked if it was a two-person lift… 🚒🎃Thanks to an outstanding team effort from the Northern Wake Fire Department and the Northern Wake Fire Auxiliary, all 2,500 pumpkins were unloaded, sorted, and ready for pumpkin season.Today was a great reminder that our department family does much more than answer emergency calls. When there’s work to be done, our members and supporters show up, roll up their sleeves, and get it done together.A sincere thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and energy today. Your hard work helps make the Pumpkin Patch one of our favorite annual traditions and supports the mission of Northern Wake Fire.Now all that’s left is for the community to come help us find these pumpkins a good home! 🎃🍂See you at the patch! 🚒🎃💪#NorthernWakeFire #PumpkinPatch #OneTeam #CommunitySupport #FallFun ...
