LACKAWANNA COUNTY, Pa. The Fourth of July has come and gone, but for the families enjoying the pool at Lackawanna State Park - they remained in holiday mode.
Having people in the pool almost didn t happen.
This year, park officials didn t think the pool would be open due to a lack of lifeguards.
However, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources opened the pool by having lifeguards from other state parks fill in.
The amount of people in the pool on Monday shows just how popular it is.

A toolbox talk, or tailgate talks, are typically given to a small group of workers early in their shift. The talks will usually detail one specific safety topic or issue that you would like your team to focus on for the day. Toolbox Talks are usually quite a bit less structured and formal compared to a regular safety training course and are not meant to be in depth reviews, but rather, used to keep a topic front of mind.
