Safety first

OWASCO - Draped in a dirty yellow firefighter's jacket and adorned with a red Owasco Fire Department helmet, Camp Columbus camper Andrew Rainess of Auburn grabbed hold of the fire hose from a visiting Owasco fire truck and sprayed water on about 20 campers anxiously awaiting a squirt.

“I got to spray everyone,” he said.

The sounds of laughter and screams of enjoyment echoed around the camp as campers took turns holding the hose and running in and out of the water.
