WARSAW â East Side Nursing & Rehabilitation Center residents got to see trucks from several fire departments roll past Saturday evening thanks to a âcrazyâ idea the nursing home started planning a month ago, an East Side staff member said.
âI wrote up a letter and I sent it to 20 of the area fire departments, just on a whim, hoping to hear back from a couple .â said Tifffany Jo Stoffer, activities director for the nursing home.
Stoffer said sheâs been to fire truck parades before.
âI thought, why couldnât we do this for the nursing home residents? Theyâve really had everything shut down for this entire year. I started hearing back from one and then two, and I think weâve reached almost eight or more of the fire departments in the area that have responded they wanted to help us out.â
