National Night Out Weather doesn’t dampen spirits

Story and photos by Andrea Stone Mountaineer staff

Fort Carson community members braved the rain for the annual National Night Out at the Soldiers’ Memorial Chapel parking lot, Tuesday. The nationwide event is an opportunity for people to meet their neighbors and interact with police, firefighters and other organizations. “The event is primarily about neighborhood watches, getting the community out to meet the police, fire and wildlife officers,” said Lt. Brandon Graber, Fort Carson police. There was a military working dog demonstration, car seat safety check, wildlife animal displays, games and food. The Fort Carson fire department brought a mobile smoke house where it taught children fire safety tips and what to do if a fire breaks out in their home. Hailey Decker, 10, said she learned to always check doors for heat and to get low when there’s smoke.
