On Sunday, December 1, 2013, Tequila Grill hosted “Fire and EMS Day” — a family event to support local first responders. Both Mechanicsville (MVFD) and Hughesville Volunteer (HVFD) Fire Department & Rescue Squads arrived to bring awareness about fire prevention and safety. But most of all, to bring Santa Claus! Children and adults showed such great support from the local communities for the fire departments and rescue volunteers. Santa Claus drew a very welcoming gathering upon his arrival, with such happy faces. He was also provided with some personal notes and a few Christmas Wish Lists. Children were able to learn about and tour the fire and rescue trucks, and learn about the apparatus used on the vehicles. Tickets for the December 8, 2013 Redskins vs. Chiefs game were raffled. There were also gift bags, fire hats, and other informational material for all the attendees to take home.
