Firehouse Subs hosts Touch-the-Truck event

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Firehouse Subs invited the Yuma community to attend the Touch-the-Truck event this weekend.

The event took place at the Firehouse Subs, located at the Big Curve, at 1 p.m. Saturday.

During the event, families got a chance to meet Rural Metro firefighters face-to-face, climb aboard a fire truck and ambulance van and learn about the gear they use to save lives.

Capt. Harry Neuhaus with Rural Metro shared why it was beneficial to team up with Firehouse Subs for this event.

"Firehouse Subs is always contributing to first responders giving back to the community, so it was essential that we made sure we showed up today," Capt. Neuhaus explained.

There was also a face painter during the event.

In addition, the event coincides with International Firefighters Day, taking place Monday, May 4, 2026, honoring the courage, dedication and selfless service of firefighters around the world.

The event lasted until 3 p.m.
