Personal fireworks are a leading cause of fires during Independence Day celebrations, causing countless injuries to children and adults across the U.S. Join with North Kitsap Fire & Rescue by pledging to refrain from purchasing or using fireworks at home, and our firefighters will donate $5.00 of their own money to the fund that supports the public fireworks display in Kingston.

One lucky family will even win two seats on NKF&R's flagship fire engine as it leads the parade, followed by prime seating to watch the rest of the parade from the deck of the Filling Station Pub and up to $50 in food and beverages. To partner with us on a safer holiday, fill out the form available at the NKF&R Web site, www.nkfr.org and send it to laboda@nkfr.org or to NKF&R at 26642 Miller Bay Road, Kingston, WA 98346. You can also find pledge forms on our website, at any of our staffed fire stations or at the Filling Station Pub.
