Molly Wattenbach, 4, runs through a sprinkler fed by a firehose near Lions Park on July 21. The Blair Volunteer Fire Department hosted two fire hydrant parties throughout town to both provide fire hydrant training for firefighters and a way for children to cool down from the 90-plus degree temperatures.

Blair Volunteer Fire Department assistant chief Joe Leonard can't get out of the way of the water fast enough as the hydrant party near Lions Park kicks off.
The Blair Volunteer Fire Department opened the hydrants when temps neared 100 degrees last week. Children were invited to splash around and were treated to ice cream and popsicles afterwards.
