🚨 PREPARING FOR PARADE NIGHT 🚨 Tonight, about half of the Fire Police needed for the parade gathered for our annual preparation session for the upcoming Ephrata Parade

Managing traffic, road closures, intersections, and the safety of thousands of parade-goers is a monumental undertaking.

Parade night requires dozens of Fire Police officers working together throughout the area, including assistance from our partners as far away as Hempfield Fire Department.

There is a tremendous amount of planning and coordination that happens long before the first parade unit ever sets off down the route.

We take this responsibility very seriously. The safety of the thousands of people who come to enjoy this Ephrata tradition is our top priority, and our Fire Police officers will be ready.

The Ephrata Fair is right around the corner!

Stay tuned for more information and important updates as we get closer to Fair Week.
