Ansted Fire Department

Hours of hard work and preparation go into a fireworks display. YOUR Ansted Firefighters (with help from FFD, and a few others) worked all day yesterday preparing for the Ansted Heritage Festival firework display. Here are a few images from the launch pad. It is a totally different perspective. Hours of training to be a certified Pyrotech Technician were obtained by these firefighters. We are blessed to have knowledgeable, safe, and skilled folks to not only handle any emergency, but to provide entertainment to the citizens and visitors of our small town. Let us know if you watched the show and how you liked it.
God bless.
