Chick-fil-A, YFD and YPD team up for Touch-the-Truck event

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Chick-fil-A teams up with the Yuma Fire and Police Departments for the Touch-the-Truck event over the weekend.

The event took place at the Chick-fil-A parking lot Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon.

During the event, families got the change to meet police officers and firefighters face-to-face, climb aboard a fire truck and police vehicles, and learn about the gear they use to save lives.

Kevin Carryon, Chick-fil-A's Director of Sales and Brand Deals, talked about how beneficial it was for Chick-fil-A to team up with both YFD and YPD.

"It's just a fun event for the kids to explore the police department and all their vehicles and the fire department and their big trucks...and just get to know some of the officer in the area and that they get to know them and stuff," Carryon explained.

Carryon also said the purpose of the event was to bring the community together and be all about being a part of Yuma.
