NAPLES — If you pass the Collier County Fairgrounds, 751 39th Ave. N.E., Naples, on Friday, Nov. 5, you’ll see an abundance of activity as local first responders set up booths to show Collier students the various career opportunities available to them.

In addition to a car crash extrication using the Jaws of Life, demonstrations from the bomb squad, med flight, and CCSO drone are expected.
