MIRA MESA HEROES PAINTS FIRE STATION 41

Fire Station 41 gets a fresh coat of paint! Mike Davis and the volunteers from MIRA MESA HEROES, and Rich Burns from Rich Burns Painting spent the weekend dressing up one of our local fire stations. The great thing about HEROES is the fact that anyone can lend a hand to help make our community better. They paint the walls along Mira Mesa Blvd, help clean yards when our neighbors in need  can’t do it on their own, and all the participants are volunteers. It is a great feeling giving a little of your time to help a neighbor in need. It is also made possible by generous donations from individuals and companies like Vulcan, which pay for the paint and supplies necessary. Youth groups, students, Boy and Girl Scouts, and adults are all encouraged to participate. We had several Girl Scouts help us paint on Saturday, and they had a blast covering the walls (and themselves) with paint. To find out how you can volunteer, go to the HEROES website. For anyone looking for a professional painter, call Rich Burns at (858) 218-5646. He is the best in Mira Mesa. And a great big thanks to the Fire Fighters at Station 41.
