Mohegan Sun Arena to Host Fire Safety Event Before the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow Party begins at the Mohegan Sun Arena this weekend, event organizers have announced a free community fire safety event will take place this Friday, Aug. 9. From 4 p.m. through 7 p.m., a free touch-a-truck event will allow children and truck enthusiasts the chance to see iconic vehicles up close before the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow Party officially kicks off its first performance on Saturday. Local first responders will be on-site at the ASM Global-managed Mohegan Sun Arena to display a variety of emergency services vehicles alongside the brand-new Hot Wheels 5-Alarm monster truck.

No. 1 will have the station’s water pumper on-hand at the event. ACT Towing will have two wreckers on site for a closer look, as well. A number of other emergency response vehicles are still being confirmed. The Wilkes-Barre Township Volunteer Fire Department, led by Fire Chief Richard Hart, has been instrumental in organizing this community event. Justin Topa, marketing manager of the Mohegan Sun Arena, hopes the fire safety event will provide an opportunity to celebrate emergency responders while creating a comfortability with the vehicles they drive. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live and our local first responders to provide families with an opportunity to meet their local heroes in a fun and non-emergency setting,” said Topa. “Children will have the chance to get their first up-close look at the Hot Wheels 5-Alarm monster truck alongside several emergency response vehicles that protect our communities every day. We expect this event’s going to be an exciting way to foster appreciation for our heroes and the amazing work they’re doing within our communities.” The Hot Wheels 5-Alarm Monster Truck, inspired by the heroic work of firefighters, will be a standout feature of the event before heading inside the arena for a weekend of Glow Party performances. Ty Cornelius Jr, driver of the Hot Wheels 5-Alarm Monster Truck, is excited to play a role in honoring local first responders. “We are incredibly honored to acknowledge the unwavering courage and commitment of our firefighters,” said Cornelius Jr. “The Hot Wheels 5-Alarm Monster Truck embodies the spirit of bravery that these first responders demonstrate every day. It’s our way of saying ‘thank you’ for their service and sacrifice.” Representatives from Hot Wheels Monster Truck Live and the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza are thrilled to shine a spotlight on Wilkes-Barre Township’s Station 188 and all of the local heroes within the region. As a token of gratitude for their dedication and bravery, firefighters from the participating stations will receive tickets to the event and a chance to experience the thrill of the Monster Trucks up close. “We hope this small gesture conveys our deep appreciation for the vital role they play in keeping our communities safe,” said Topa. This is the first time that the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow Party has toured within northeastern Pennsylvania. Three performances on Saturday and Sunday afternoon will bring fans’ favorite Hot Wheels Monster Trucks to life including the all-new HW Skelesaurus™ and HW 5-Alarm™! The legendary Bigfoot® is also featured alongside Mega Wrex™, Tiger Shark™, Bone Shaker™, and Gunkster™ Hot Wheels Monster Trucks.
