More than 500 children and parents attended the annual Puget Sound Fire Teddy Bear Clinic in Kent.<\/p>\n

Children had an opportunity to have their teddy bear checked by firefighters, take photos, make buttons and see an aid car, a brush truck and two different types of fire engines during the Saturday, May 18 event at Station 74, 24611 116th Ave. SE.<\/p>\n

The first 400 children received a free teddy bear courtesy of radio station Warm 106.9. The young visitors then headed to a wellness check with emergency medical technicians (EMTs). Some of the teddy bears needed a little TLC and others needed a bit more care with splints and bandaging, according to Puget Sound Fire.<\/p>\n

Kent-based Puget Sound Fire thanked its community partners and volunteers for making the clinic possible, including the Communications Support Team, Covington Parks & Recreation, Kent Public Works, Maple Valley Parks & Recreation, Mom’s Day Out, Safe Kids, SeaTac Parks & Recreation, Tri-Med Ambulance, Valley Communications Center, Washington Alliance for Better Schools, Zone 3 Fire Cadets and honor students from Kentridge High School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
