The West Plains Fire Department will host a safe way to trick-or-treat on Halloween, October 31, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at all three fire stations in West Plains.
“Trick-or-treaters will have the opportunity to drive-thru and social distance at any of the three stations and receive prepackaged candy, packaged by the Ladies Auxiliary prior to the event,” Interim Fire Chief Kurt Wilbanks stated.
Firefighters will be wearing masks and will have hand sanitizer readily available for the public. Masks are also required in any city building. Fire Station 1 is located on Kissinger Street, Fire Station 2 is located on St. Louis Street and Fire Station 3 is in the Southern Hills Shopping Center on Bruce Smith Parkway.
“Daylight Savings Time ends on November 1. We also want to remind everyone to turn your clock back one hour before you go to bed Halloween night. It’s also the perfect time to check all smoke detector batteries and change them out,” Wilbanks stated.
