Pack your appetite for pancakes and plenty of family-friendly fun! South Walton Fire District’s annual Pancake Breakfast fundraiser will be held October 5 to recognize the start of Fire Prevention Week.
The event will take place at SWFD’s Station 3, at 911 N. County Highway 393 in Santa Rosa Beach, from 8 to 11 a.m. All-you-can-eat pancakes will be served for $5 per person. As in years past, the proceeds will benefit the District’s Fire Prevention and Community Risk Reduction Programs.
“It’s truly a celebration of fire prevention and safety because all of the money we raise will be infused back into the South Walton community,” said SWFD Fire Marshal Sammy Sanchez. “The funds allow us to purchase smoke alarms and other fire safety materials, which we give out for free throughout the year through our events and programs.”
Some of the family-friendly activities planned include fire engine tours, a junior firefighter combat challenge, a bounce house setup, live demonstrations from firefighters, and appearances of the SWFD Fire Pup mascot.
By enjoying a tasty breakfast and sharing fire prevention information, the District’s goal is to both educate and connect with the community it serves during the annual breakfast.
“This is an ever-growing opportunity we have each year to invite the community into our home,” said SWFD Fire Chief Ryan Crawford. “While our residents and visitors share a meal with us, they also have the chance to see our facilities, interact with our personnel,
and support fire prevention within their own neighborhood. It is an absolute blast to attend, and we can’t wait to see everyone on October 5.”
