Residents flock to Community Cares Day

Hosted by the local Sears store, the event featured a variety of displays and demonstrations from city and county law enforcement and emergency services agencies, the Bureau of Land Management as well as security forces and explosive ordnance disposal technicians from Mountain Home Air Force Base.

The event allowed local residents to learn firsthand the types of emergency response agencies based out of Mountain Home and surrounding agencies and how these organizations function during a crisis. Photo by Brian S. Orban
