The event on McArthur Island saw dozens of families check out the various equipment and vehicles used by first responders from the RCMP, paramedics, search and rescue and Kamloops Fire Rescue.

The family-friendly event offered a chance to interact with various emergency services teams and organizations operating within Kamloops.
