Fire Trucks, K-9s and Family Fun: Community Helpers Day Comes to Englewood Library

Community Helpers Day Comes to Englewood Library

Bring your family to Community Helpers Day at the Englewood Charlotte Library on April 11, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

Firefighters, EMTs, and the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office, with their K-9 partners, will be there, ready to show you the tools and equipment they use every day. Kids love getting a close look at real fire trucks and meeting those four-legged officers up close.

Community Helpers Day isn’t just a chance to connect with local first responders. It’s a hands-on, lively event designed for families. You can chat with firefighters and deputies, learn how they keep our community safe, and let your kids ask questions. If you get hungry, they will serve up free hot dogs; just grab one while supplies last.
