Starting March 27, Orange County Fire Authority is launching “Tones at 2” (that’s fire lingo for “fire tones at 2 p.m.”). This Facebook Live feed will pull the curtains back of Orange County Fire Authority. Geared towards elementary aged students, firefighters will be showing different aspects of the fire department over the next two weeks including OCFA fire stations, fire investigation dog “Freedom,” a fire helicopter, and much more.
So remember, at 2 p.m. every Monday through Friday on Facebook at facebook.com/OrangeCountyFire, you are invited to tune in, learn and, of course, ask lots of questions. The OCFA hopes this will be a fun and interactive learning tool while we are all adjusting to a new normal.
