Gaston Rural Fire District

By 8:30 in the morning, you could tell that the day was going to be beautiful. It would be a perfect day for a summer picnic, a trip to Hagg Lake or just a bike ride with friends.

But on July 12, eight young women from our community were willing to give up their beautiful Saturday to learn how to become better babysitters.

They were so dedicated they spent the entire day indoors at the station with Red Cross-trained instructor LaToya Hampton practice all the skills they need to keep the young children in their care safe.

Good job and thanks for coming!
