Maximus Sims and his father check out a Chelsea firetruck at Chelsea National Night Out on October 4, 2016.
The parking lot of the Chelsea Walmart Supercenter saw more than just its normal share of vehicles on Tuesday evening. Firetrucks, ambulances, a police boat and a tactical response truck parked near the back of the lot in a roped off area to invite community members to come and interact with law enforcement and rescue teams.
Children as young as 2 years old were climbing into the front seats of vehicles for an up close look at how some of Shelby County and Chelsea's public servants work on a day-to-day basis. Chelsea's firehouse dog Hero was also on the scene to greet kids.
Not only were local first responders present, but volunteer groups also provided activities and treats to round out the family-friendly event.
