BIG COPPITT KEY, FL – Monroe County Fire Rescue is hosting its annual Easter egg hunt on Saturday, April 9 at 9 a.m. at the Big Coppitt Fire Station, 28 Emerald Drive. The Easter Bunny will be on-site for pictures after hiding 6,000 eggs and one “special” golden egg for kids to find. There will also be an area designated for small children.

Children can tour a fire truck, meet the on-duty firefighters, and safely help the firefighters put out a pretend house fire. Snow cones and cotton candy will also be served along with fire prevention material.

“After having to cancel the last two years, we are excited to be able to host this event again and keep the tradition going. This will be our 12^th year hosting the event,” said Fire Chief Steve Hudson. “It’s one of the firefighters’ favorite annual events for kids.”
