ROCKINGHAM — Among other things, new Rockingham Fire Department Chief Harold Isler has implemented new uniforms for firefighters and support personnel.
The change, however, is temporary.
On Friday morning, firefighters preparing for the 8 a.m. shift change unveiled the pink T-shirts in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Isler said staff will wear them throughout October.
He said just about every family is touched by cancer — including his.
Firefighters will be wearing these shirts during a public fire prevention event on Saturday, Oct. 4 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the former Winn Dixie parking lot on Rockingham Road. Activities include static displays of life-saving equipment, a bounce house, games and a car seat clinic.
