The Boistfort Emergency Assistance Group and Boistfort Fire Association are holding their second annual pancake breakfast tomorrow with the goal of helping folks prepare for their own safety.
The 8 a.m. to noon event at the Baw Faw Grange will include disaster preparedness information and displays, fire truck tours and raffles, according to Lewis County Fire District 13 Chief Gregg Peterson.
Plus sausage, eggs and all-you-can-eat pancakes.
The Boistfort Emergency Assistance Group began in the fall of 2006 after a windstorm damaged the elementary school and made its mission to create an evacuation center for use during a disaster, according to Peterson.
The BEAG made changes at the Baw Faw Grange so it can run on a generator and propane, conversions that proved invaluable during the December 2007 flood, according to Peterson. The grange opened its doors at 7 a.m. that morning and within an hour had heat, lights and warm food in preparation for distressed citizens, according to Peterson.
The cost is $5 for adults and $2.50 for children.
