This time, crews will visit three new parks from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.:
- Strathcona Park
- John Hendry Park (Trout Lake)

VFRS says the events are a chance for the public to both cool down and meet their local firefighters.
The department says the last event was a success and that it has considered making the spray sessions a weekly Thursday event.
