participate in Purple in the Park alongside our other public safety partners in
law enforcement as well as area fire departments. Events included a K9 demonstration by the

answered questions about the robot as well as fire safety for both children and
adults. DSFM Chris Fenzel even donned a
bomb suit in the June heat to pose for a picture with Sheriff Gamble.
