Monroe County Fire Rescue is hosting its annual Easter egg hunt on Wednesday, March 25, at 6 p.m. at the Big Coppitt Fire Station, 28 Emerald Drive. The Easter Bunny will be on-site for pictures after hiding thousands of eggs and one “special” golden egg for kids to find.

Children can tour a fire truck, meet on-duty firefighters, and safely help firefighters put out a pretend house fire. Snow cones and fire prevention material will be available. Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Animal Farm will also be in attendance.

“This event has become a favorite tradition for our firefighters and the families we serve,” said Fire Chief R.L. Colina. “It’s a great opportunity for kids to have fun, meet their local firefighters, and learn simple ways to stay fire safe.”
