Saratoga Springs National Night Out a blazing sucess

By Chanel Nagaishi
SARATOGA SPRINGS - On August 1, the Saratoga Springs Police and Fire Departments hosted their annual National Night Out Against Crime in the Walmart parking lot. This event gave residents the opportunity to meet first responder personnel and learn about emergency services amid a backdrop of activities, food and demonstrations.

According to the National Association of Town Watch, National Night Out is a nationwide program that seeks to enhance the relationships between police officers and the communities in which they serve. Each year on the first Tuesday in August, cities across the country host block parties, cookouts, festivals and parades in an effort to increase neighborhood camaraderie and safety.

Some of the highlights from this year's event were a side-by-side burn demonstration and dunk tank featuring the Chief of Police. Attendees also had the opportunity to try on S.W.A.T. gear, explore the interiors of police cars, ambulances and fire trucks, wear drunk goggles, and take pictures with officers and city royalty. An additional National Night Out was held for Bluffdale citizens on August 7.

Be sure to mark your calendars for next year's festivities!
