Organizers said they wanted to create a fun water day for children and let them to meet first responders.
“I was trying to figure out how to combine my passion for first responders and community helpers with my job as a behavioral analyst. I realized that fostering community was essential, and this event became the solution we came up with,” added Burnham.
This year marks the first event, and the organizers are hopeful about continuing it in the future, aiming to make it bigger and better each year.
